Hi, this is Joe Zajac from Gepco and General Cable and today I'm talking about our new SMPTE fiber tester
this is for testing hybrid TV camera cables
for the SMPTE 304 standard and the SMPTE 311 standard
so basically what this will do is it'll give you a graphic representation
of what is potentially wrong with your cable
if there's contacts open, it will also give you a relative level
it will test the return loss of the fiber and it actually has two lasers in it
so it will test each channel of fiber individually
so as unlike other testers that are out there on the market
which basically loops through, this one will go end to end
separately with the fiber and also with the electricals
so again It'll give you a graphic representational show which pens are
open
which ones are are connected if there's any crosses
in your connection and then the nice thing about it is programable
so you could
save your settings and it's a nice little tester to
to basically check your cables. It will also give you a pass/fail
so if you're a in a hurry - you're out on a remote you just wanna make sure
your cables are working
plug and you get a pass fail and you know the cable ready to go
