Released in 2025, the pro version of PXM/LXM is more than a cutting-edge tool; it’s a game changer for Tier-1 fiber certification in data center networks. It handles the challenges of both duplex and multi-fiber testing, so it’s little wonder that the PXM/LXM sets new standards for speed and versatility. Its intuitive design helps empower contractors and data center technicians of all experience levels handling any size network to deliver accurate and reliable Tier-1 certifications with confidence.

The fastest

Measure loss, length, and polarity on duplex and multi-fiber links at two wavelengths in just 1 second.

Multi-connector compatibility

Switch within seconds between duplex and multi-fiber testing with patented Click-Out adapters, compatible with duplex MDC, SN, LC as well as MPO and SYSTIMAX MTP.

First-time-right polarity

The industry's only tester capable of detecting duplex and multi-fiber polarity issues hidden in trunk cabling, ensuring fibers are correctly connected before the network goes live.

Standards compliance

EXFO’s Click-Out adapters enable one-cord referencing for duplex and multi-fiber cabling, eliminating adapter cords to match pinned and unpinned gender types ensuring compliance with TIA, ISO, and IEC standards.
