HYBRID COPPER-FIBRE CABLE TESTING

Hybrid copper-fibre cables are an advanced format that combines the benefits of both electrical and fiber optic wires into a single cable or connection.

Designed to support various communication systems, hybrid copper-fibre cables provide a reliable and efficient solution for modern data transmission needs.

A requirement emerging alongside the cables themselves is for a combined automatic test solution which integrates electrical and optical testing into a single system.  That's where MK comes in...

HYBRID COPPER-FIBRE TEST SYSTEM

One system to test both technologies.

MK Test Systems have partnered with photonic solution specialists AVoptics to develop a hybrid copper-fibre cable test system.

Together, we've developed a system that combines the two functions in a single, compact COTS test system controlled by our MKAT software.

Why do you need a specialist test system for your hybrid copper-fibre cables?

Versatility for an evolving industry

Fibre optics is an industry that is constantly evolving and changing, so there are many options on the market, such as single-mode, ribbon, multimode, duplex, simplex, and hybrid cables that combine fibre with copper.

These cables are used in a variety of applications, such as aerospace, military, telecommunications, industrial automation, security systems, and broadband networks, and offer high-speed data transfer and power to connected devices.

As a new test system with the latest version of our MKAT software powering it, MK's hybrid copper-fibre test system is designed with dependency and versatility in mind.

Practical benefits

A combined testing system integrating electrical and opticaltests into one platform enables comprehensive checks for real-world performance and compatibility.

It also allows for interference testing between copper and fiber, with unified reporting to streamline analysis and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Time and cost savings

By consolidating testing into a single system, preparation and testing time are significantly reduced.

These systems lower the cost of both equipment and labour, require less space, and simplify operator training, making them an efficient and cost-effective solution.
