UNDERSTANDING ENCIRCLED FLUX (EF)
Encircled Flux (EF) is a new standard that defines how to control the source launch conditions as specified in TIA-526-14-C and IEC 61280-4-1 Ed. 2.0.
Whether for an expanding enterprise business or a large-volume data center, the new high-speed data networks built with multimode fibers are running under tighter tolerances than ever before.
These multimode fibers are the trickiest links to test because the results depend greatly on each device’s output conditions. Testing with different equipment often returns different test results, sometimes higher than the budget loss itself. This may mislead the technician or make it impossible to locate the fault, resulting in unsuccessful turn-ups or a longer network downtime. Now, cable installers can rely on their Tier-1 loss results and Tier-2 troubleshooting can be performed with maximum accuracy and utmost confidence of finding the actual problem.
