Overview

A Two-Way Optical Loss Test set (OLTS) that's perfect for medium to ultra high fiber count loss testing applications on single mode fiber with an APC connector at triple 1310 / 1550 / 1625 nm. A pair of these compact instruments set new standards of productivity, accuracy and ease of use.

Each SM fiber needs just one test hook-up and one key press for a complete bidirectional loss test, eliminating administration, training and test errors. Testing is accurate and can take only 5 seconds, direct onto flexible standards-compliant Tier 1 certification reports.

A pair of instruments both display bi-directional loss, in real time, with no need to specify master/slave instruments. A single instrument can also be used as a stand-alone light source & power meter, or tone generator / detector.

  • 25% of the size / weight, 7x the battery life of competitors 
  • Bidirectional Autotest loss testing on one fiber
  • Real time Pass / Fail display
  • 8,000 fiber memory and USB Flash Drive file dump
  • KITS™ reporting software
  • Autotest optical power meter, >25 λ, 1 % accuracy
  • Traceable calibration reports: power meter & linearity, source λ & stability
  • 80 hr alkaline battery life
  • 3 Year warranty and calibration cycle
