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 4C Quad 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 4C 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 Quad fiber optic light source contains all four popular
industry-standard wavelengths in a single unit, designed for accurate
testing and certification of multimode (850nm & 1300nm) and singlemode
(1310nm & 1550nm) networks. Its quad-wavelength outputs are
temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements.
The WaveSource Quad has a built-in auto-wavelength switching protocol
designed to synchronize the wavelength of the Fiber OWL 4C with the
current output wavelength.
Three connector options are available (ST, SC, and FC).
