OLS-85/OLS-85P Light Sources
The SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 light sources are professional,
versatile, compact handheld instruments designed for
qualification and certification of fiber optic networks.
Thoroughly chosen combinations of available wavelengths make
the SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 light sources the optimum choice
for link loss testing and characterization of long-haul, metro, and
access telecommunication networks, as well as for data center
and local area network testing.
Single-Mode (SM) and Multi-Mode (MM) – The
all-in-one solution
OLS-85 devices that have both single mode and multi-mode
light sources are the most flexible test instruments. These
instruments are particularly suitable for rental and measurement
service companies.
Auto
– Do it right the first time
OLS-85 Auto
feature sends information about the emitted
wavelengths to a receiving-end (e.g. OLP-85), enabling the
receiving-end to automatically set up for correct wavelength
setting and hence ensuring a correct measurement the first
time.
Multi
– Reduce testing time to a minimum
Combined with a compatible power meter (e.g. OLP-85) Multi-
testing reduces testing time to a minimum by simultaneously
testing at all wavelengths.
Macrobending test ready
Several OLS-85 variants provide a 1625 nm light source which is
the ideal wavelength for detecting macrobending issues in fiber
links.
Fiber inspection ready – Inspect before you
connect
The SmartClass™ Fiber OLS-85 instruments are prepared for
fiber inspection. Connection of a P5000i Digital Probe to the
OLS-85 enables a technician to perform best practices fiber
