Fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote (RFQ) often have specified cabling standards (such as fiber length) that the network installer must follow during the installation, since adherence to these standards ensures the quality of the installation and guarantees that the network will perform as it was designed. The certification of a network installation often requires hard-copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards.
The Fiber OWL 4C/Dual OWL/Laser OWL Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in singlemode and multimode networks.The Fiber OWL 4C optical power meter is both multimode and singlemode ready.The values of up to 1000 fiber runs can be stored in order to measure optical loss.These measurements can be downloaded onto a computer via a serial port,and reportscan be generated using the OWL Reporter software(included).The filtered detector in the Fiber OWL 4C makes it an excellent choice for high-power applications such as Telco and CATV.
The Dual OWL is a multimode light source. Its output is temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements. Two connector options are available (ST and SC).
The Laser OWL is a singlemode light source. Its outputs are temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements. Certification of multimode fiber links at 850 nm and 1300 nm, and singlemode fiber links at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.Three connector options are available (ST, SC, and FC).
Both of these units fit into the sturdy carrying case (included), and each unit comes with a rubber boot to further protect it from everyday use and abuse.
