Overview

This triple laser source is a general purpose test source for single mode systems with APC connectors at 1310-1490-1550 nm. Typical applications include fiber optic attenuation measurement, polarity testing and fiber identification on critical PON systems. This unit has a 650 nm VFL Visitester, which mixes a VFL in with the test source during Autotest. In addition to operating as a typical VFL, it gives positive visual identification of a fiber to be connected to a power meter for loss testing.

  • Easy to use, rugged & versatile
  • Long battery life, micro USB power/charger
  • Interchangeable connectors with dust cap & tilt bail
  • Superior re-connection repeatability, < 0.1 dB
  • Excellent stability
  • Autotest & Multi-Fiber ID Tone generator
  • Full QA & test reports ISO/IEC 17025 traceable
