TYPICAL USES: TELCO, WAN, LAN,
CATV, IT, Industrial, Manufacturing or Laboratory Environments
Fiber OWL test kits are ideal for the
fiber optic professional who requires standards-based certification of
fiber links, including TIA-568, ISO 11801, various Ethernet standards,
among others. The Fiber OWL can also be configured with custom
standards to meet the needs of various fiber optic applications.
Fiber OWL 4 kits are now
10-Gigabit Ethernet ready. This new update allows fiber optic
professionals to certify their fiber links for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, the
next generation of fiber network.
Each Fiber OWL test kit comes with a N.I.S.T.
Traceable Fiber
OWL optical power meter one or more complementary fiber optic light sources, based
upon your application. Many configurations are available. Included with each test kit are a
hard-shell carrying case, protective rubber boots, carrying straps, 9-volt
batteries, certificate of NIST-traceability,
and a CD-ROM with free OWL
Reporter software and operation
manual.
Two test kit families are available:
Fiber OWL 4 BOLT Series Auto-Wavelength Test
Kits offer the ultimate in user-friendliness. Not only does the
Fiber OWL 4 BOLT perform optical link length tests, but when used together
with the WaveSource fiber optic light source in
automatic mode, the meter and light source use auto-wavelength switching
technology that coordinates wavelengths automatically, without the need for
further user intervention. This feature increases productivity by
decreasing testing time and human error. The WaveSource line of
light sources also includes the least-expensive quad-wavelength fiber
optic light source on the market,
integrating all four popular wavelengths into one unit (850/1300nm for
multimode and 1310/1550nm for singlemode).
For a more economical option, Fiber
OWL 4 BOLT Series Test Kits use Dual OWL MM sources and/or Laser OWL
SM sources to give installers a full-featured certification option for
their multimode and/or singlemode fiber links at economical prices.
Fiber OWL 4
series meters come standard with a small state-of-the-art UNIVERSAL
detector port fully reliable to allow use of ST, SC, FC or any 2.5 mm patch
cables as test cable which saves money on consumables (test cables
wear out). Sorry physics and optics do not allow the same universal
connector to work well on any brand of the light source. Hence,
light sources must have ST, SC, or FC connector ports.
