Many fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote
(RFQ) are citing cabling standards to specify the set of
guidelines (such as fiber length) that the network installer must follow
during the network installation. Adherence to such standards is meant
to ensure the quality of the installation and guarantee that the
network will perform as it was designed.
The process of testing a network installation to ensure its adherence to
specified standards is called certification, and often requires
hard-copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards.
The Fiber OWL 4 MM Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying
fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in
singlemode and multimode networks.
The Fiber OWL 4 optical power meter is multimode and singlemode ready, and
contains a user-friendly Fiber Link Wizard that performs link budget
calculation and sets a reference value using the characteristics of the
link. This reference is the PASS/FAIL threshold and is calculated
against the chosen standard. Up to 1000 fiber runs may be stored, then
serially downloaded to a PC for report generation using our OWL
Reporter software.
It also includes intelligent automated testing functions, such as automatic
dual-wavelength storage and auto-wavelength recognition, which reduce
testing time and human error.
The WaveSource MM fiber optic light source is designed for accurate testing
and certification of multimode (850nm & 1300nm) networks. Its dual-wavelength outputs are
temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements.
The WaveSource MM has a built-in auto-wavelength switching protocol
designed to synchronize the wavelength of the Fiber OWL 4 with the current
output wavelength.
Three connector options are available (ST, SC, and FC), and is upgradeable
to include 1310 & 1550nm singlemode sources.
