Ultra Stable 2W Loss Length ORL Tester | Kingfisher International

Overview

A Two-Way Optical Loss Test set (OLTS) that's perfect for medium to ultra high fiber count loss, length and optical return loss testing applications on single mode fiber with an APC connector at 1310 / 1550 nm. A pair of these compact instruments set new standards of productivity, accuracy and ease of use. The 650 nm VFL is on a separate port.

Each SM fiber needs just one test hook-up and one key press for a complete 2W / bidirectional loss length & ORL 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 length & bi-directional loss, & ORL each end, in real time, with no need to specify master/slave instruments. A single instrument can also be used as a stand-alone ultra-stable light source & power meter, VFL, ORL meter, or tone generator / detector.

Key Features

Interchangeable connector adpators

Use a single tester for: SC, LC, MPO, FC, HFBR, & other connectors - including universal & duplex options.

Test tone with multi-fiber ID

Send & identify one of 12 unique test tones. Great for quickly verifying continuity, polarity and rack labelling.

One-touch AutoTest

Smart communication makes sure you always get a full, complete, and consistent test result.

Real-time reporting software

Excel-based instrument connectivity for comprehensive reporting (against standards) and real-time data logging.

Zero warm-up laser (KI2300, KI2400, KI23400 only)

Instant high-accuracy testing. Unlike other sources, Zero Warm-Up sources are in-spec & stabilized in seconds.

Metal-free connectors

To avoid metal dust fragments damaging your tester and fiber-ends, we use high-end metal-free connectors.

ILAC/NATA ISO/IEC 17025 optical calibration

Internationally recognised traceable optical calibration to ISO/IEC 17025

Genuine 3 year calibration validity

Genuine 3 Year optical power meter re-calibration validity

VisiTest option

Integrates a VFL into AutoTest, so the fiber end you need to test flashes red. Confidence with a quick & easy visual cue.

Multimode test standard compliance

Kingfisher LED sources meet Encircled Flux and CPR requirements straight out of the box.

Runs on Alkaline Batteries

SC / LC duplex support

Use our universal interchangeable connector options for duplex testing.

USB key data export with data assurance

High capacity internal memory, easy & secure text export, with Excel-based report generation software included.

Total uncertainty specification

Our unique specifications cover accuracy in real world use - over all power levels, temperatures, connector and fiber types.

TextTag

Quickly and confidently store text data against patch-panel labels.
