What is an Optical Loss Test Set?
A fiber cable tester instrument that combines up to 6 sources, a power meter & optional VFL in one unit. Two OLTS are usually used to measure losses on installed systems. Alternatively, some users may prefer either a higher performance two-way LTS, or a separate source and meter test kit. All Kingfisher OLTS are colored red for easy work site identification, and they are inter-operable with any other Kingfisher Autotest sources, meters or two-way testers with matching wavelengths.
For larger organizations, loss test sets can provide benefits in terms of simplified asset management, deployment and training, compared to sources & meters.
For laboratory, QA and bench users, a loss test set provides maximum functionality from a single instrument. It may be an easy and more compact solution with only one battery or power pack to manage.
All Kingfisher loss test sets offer superior measurement stability in practical link testing. When a test lead is repeatedly re-connected to the light source, the coupled power varies by < 0.1 dB. A Kingfisher OLTS can also be used as a tone generator for use with a clip-on identifier.
Note: Optical Loss Test Sets can alternatively be called: optical multimeters, fiber cable analyzers, fiber cable certifiers or optical cable tester.
