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.
