Fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote (RFQ) often have specified cabling standards (such as fiber length) that the network installer must follow during the installation, since adherence to these standards ensures the quality of the installation and guarantees that the network will perform as it was designed. The certification of a network installation often requires hard-copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards.

The Fiber OWL 4/Dual OWL 850 Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in multimode and singlemode networks.The Fiber OWL 4 optical power meter is both multimode and singlemode ready.The values of up to 1000 fiber runs can be stored in order to measure optical loss.These measurements can be downloaded onto a computer via a serial port,and reportscan be generated using the OWL Reporter software (included).

The Dual OWL 850 fiber optic light source is designed for accurate testing and certification of multimode networks at 850nm. Its output is temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements.Two connector options are available (ST and SC).

Both of these units fit into the sturdy carrying case (included), and each unit comes with a rubber boot to further protect it from everyday use and abuse.
