Test time for Bidirectional Autotest Two-Way Loss, ORL and Length
is typically a few seconds per fiber, with major savings in skill, time,
cleaning materials and test confidence.
Accurate and stable, the real time display in this mode offers genuine
time saving for users, since a poor or unstable fiber hook-up can be
immediately recognized and corrected before saving a measurement.
Both local and remote loss referencing is supported.
A handy Autotest communications feature helps both users step
quickly through a large fiber array. This feature also links through to
real-time acquisition with
KITS™
software.
ORL Meter Features
ORL test is an option, depending on instrument p/n.
Full-function ORL testing can be performed as an integrated part of
Two-Way Autotest, or as a stand-alone manual test.
User selectable offset and residual compensation functions greatly
improve accuracy and range and are typically used in component or
bench test applications.
Power Meter Features
The full-function power meter can be used in One-Way Autotest or
manual modes.
Power meter options cover the range +33dBm to -70dBm.
Various detector options include Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs),
Germanium (Ge), Silicon (Si) and high-power versions.
Power meters with standard detectors work with fiber core diameter
up to 200 microns, with both PC and APC polish connectors such as
universal 2.5, 1.25 mm, SC, LC, FC, ST, SMA, MU, LSA, E2000
Power meters with Large Area Detectors work with an active fiber core
diameter up to either 3 mm or 5 mm. Common applications include
ribbon fiber MPO/MTP (all types up to 32 or 72 fibers), CS, MDC, SN
and POF / HCS connectors.
Accurate & fully traceable calibration options cover all popular
application
λ
from 635 to 1650 nm and may include CWDM
calibrations from 1270 nm to 1610 nm in 20 nm increments.
Calibration
λ
are all genuine, with no interpolated or inferred calibration
values.
Superior operational accuracy is clearly defined with a unique Total
Uncertainty Specification, which covers the full temperature, dynamic
and connector range.
There is no warmup period, range-changing delay, or user dark
current zeroing.
Power stability testing over a period can be performed using the
max/min recording function.
The display shows dBm, dB mW, µW, nW, to 0.01 dB resolution, and
can be put on hold for convenient manual data recording.
