The AFL OLS8-SL2-BAS is a FlowScout OLS8-SM Dual (1310/1550 nm) basic kit that includes a FlowScout OLS8-SM Dual light source, AC charger and power/data cable, SC/UPC adapter, protective rubber boot, quick reference guide, and soft carry case.

AFL’s FlowScout OLS8 optical light source represents the next generation of smart optical light sources. Built on the legacy of AFL/Noyes OLS series optical light sources, the FlowScout OLS8 provides a stable and accurate light source for use in enterprise LAN, data center, PON, and broadband networks.

Please note, Test jumpers and connector adapters are required for operation (purchased separately). Test jumpers with a variety of connector styles and fiber types and adapter caps for most common connectors are available for purchase.

With a simple-to-use color touchscreen interface, fiber technicians can quickly set up, test, validate, and document installed fiber plant, as well as perform troubleshooting as needed.

In the Wave ID mode, the OLS8 encodes each wavelength with a unique Wave ID code. When used with a Wave ID capable power meter, such as OPM8, the pair can test up to three wavelengths simultaneously reducing test time and eliminating wavelength-setting errors. The light source also offers CW mode (continuous output - no encoding) and supports test Tone generation (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz) to assist in troubleshooting.

When used in conjunction with AFL’s FlowScout OPM8 power meter (sold separately), test results may be transferred via Bluetooth to a mobile iOS or Android device running AFL’s free FlexApp software. FlexApp can automatically transfer results to AFL’s FlexReporter cloud for subsequent analysis, editing, and reports generation with FlexReports PC software. FlexApp users may also share transferred results via email or other cloud-sharing services. Illuminate your network and report in real-time using AFL’s FlowScout OLS8.
