Preferred loss test equipment for SM MM fiber simplex & duplex connectors
In one hook-up, these instruments perform length & bi-directional pass/fail loss testing at two wavelengths. So, a fiber tested with these instruments can be used anywhere in a related network. They are also equipped with an optical power meter, VFL, and tone source / detection, so can perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing.
Multimode loss test equipment for SM MM fiber simplex & duplex connectors
This equipment may requre that cable length is measured elsewhere.
Instruments with 850 / 1300 nm LED source, Encircled Flux compliant. Required mandrel wraps are supplied as standard. These instruments can also test 1300 nm single-mode systems with up to 10 dB loss.
Basic: suitable for low volume or occasional use. The instruments can be locked by a supervisor to a particular wavelength.

Preferred test equipment for MPO connectors
These inexpensive test kits perform single-directional loss testing at two wavelengths. They are equipped with an optical power meter, and tone source / detection, so can also perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing. These kits also inlcude cleaning and inspection products. Instruments can also be supplied individually. Length may need to be determined by some other method, e.g., by OTDR, cable inspection etc. For many short MPO links, length testing may not be useful / needed.

Polarity / Continuity Test Equipment
Any of the Loss Test Equipment can perform continuity / polarity testing using test tones.
If multiple sources are available, they can perform polarity testing on 12 fibers at a time using MultiFiber ID.
Loss Test Instruments fitted with either a VFL or VisiTester can perform quick visual testing.
Alternatively a Visual Fault Locator pen KI6350 can be used.
All Kingfisher visible lasers conform to current laser safety standards.
Connector Summary
