Optical fibre is increasing being used for both business and residential use due to its bandwidth potential and services such as FTTH.
More cabling contractors must possess and utilise suitable testing instruments to ensure optical fibres are installed and operating correctly.
The Kingfisher KI7827B Optical Light Source is available from TR Corporation . When the Kingfisher KI7827B Optical Light Source with APC (Angled Physical Connection) is used in conjunction with the KI7600 Optical Power Meter, together they can test loss on single mode optical fibre systems.
Applications:
- Commissioning FTTH
- Measuring loss on singlemode communications systems
- System power testing
- Attenuation testing
- Fault finding and continuity testing
- General fibre optic testing and maintenance
Product features:
- Light Source has 1310, 1490 and 1550nm wavelengths
- Power Meter is compatible with both single and multimode wavelengths
- Flexible real-time PC reporting software
- Interchangeable connectors
- Autotest compatibility with other instruments
- Metal free adaptors avoid contamination of connectors in high power systems
- Measures absolute and relative light levels and test tones in fibre optic systems
- The meter displays mW, μW, nW, dB, dBm to 0.01 dB resolution with no range changing delays. A separate reference for each λ is stored and displayed
