MILPITAS, Calif., July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today
announced the release of all-in-one fiber optic test kits,
providing network technicians with a simple way to avoid one of the
leading causes of network downtime: contaminated, or "dirty,"
fiber. Based on its recognized best practice to "Inspect Before You
Connect," JDSU provides all of the tools necessary to inspect,
clean and perform power or attenuation measurements on fiber optic
connections in easy-to-use kits to prevent costly network damage
during installation, qualification and troubleshooting. (Photo:

service providers worldwide, we believe that fiber contamination is
the number one source of costly truck rolls and optical network
impairment," said Steve Lytle, general manager in the JDSU
Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "Inspecting
with a kit that contains all the necessary tools before you connect
enables technicians to conveniently inspect both sides of an
optical connection, clean it if necessary, and conduct the required
optical testing to ensure the integrity of the network." JDSU
inspection, cleaning, and test kits are designed specifically to
meet the needs of today's fiber applications and environments
including FTTx, LAN/WAN, and data centers found in both cable and
telecommunications networks. The kits include JDSU video fiber
microscopes, optical cleaning tools, PocketClass(TM) or SMART
optical light sources and optical power meters, and a visual fault
locator (VFL). The kits also include a wide selection of
Westover(TM) precision tips for the video fiber microscope and a
collection of fiber optic patch cords for connecting to the system
under test. Fiber inspection and cleaning are critical components
in a comprehensive fiber deployment and operation strategy.
Proactive inspection prior to network testing and installation
reduces downtime, optimizes signal performance, and protects
components from costly damage. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and
