Many fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote (RFQ) are citing cabling standards to specify the set of guidelines (such as fiber length) that the network installer must follow during the network installation. Adherence to such standards is meant to ensure the quality of the installation and guarantee that the network will perform as it was designed. The process of testing a network installation to ensure its adherence to specified standards is called certification, and often requires hard- copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards.

The Micro OWL 2 / Dual OWL 850 Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying multimode fiber optic links against a myriad of cabling standards at 850nm.

The Micro OWL 2 optical power meter is multimode and singlemode ready, and contains a user-friendly Fiber Link Wizard that performs link budget calculation, and sets a reference value using the characteristics of the link. This reference is the PASS/FAIL threshold and is calculated against the chosen standard. Up to 1000 fiber runs may be stored, and downloaded to a PC for report generation using our OWL Reporter software. Its universal port allows connections to ST, SC, and FC, and also includes a 1.25mm universal port for connection to LC, MU, and other SFF connectors.

General Features 2.5mm Universal Connector Port - accepts many popular 2.5mm ferrule connectors, including ST, SC, and FC. Also included is a 1.25mm universal adapter cap (for connection to LC, MU, and other SFF connectors). USB Download Port - downloads stored data to a PC using the supplied USB download cable. Charger Port / VFL Port and Indicator LED - Allows for charging of re-chargable 9-volt batteries, as well as wall power operation (9VDC transformer and 9-volt re-chargeable battery not included). DO NOT USE BATTERY CHARGING PORT WITH NON- RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES, AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO THE UNIT AND/OR THE USER. LCD Display - shows optical power/loss levels, power units, temperature, battery life, wavelength, and circuit ID information. Function keys activate certain menu options shown at the bottom of the Micro OWL 2 LCD display Enables user to enter alpha-numeric data, as well as activate certain menu options Allows the user to enter the MAIN MENU While in the menu system, reverts the user back one menu level; during data entry, enters the data input and sends the user to the next screen Toggles the backlight between on and off Turns the unit ON and OFF

The Dual OWL 850 is our NIST traceable multimode light source. Its 850nm output is temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements. Two connector options are available (ST and SC).

Functional Description 850nm Port - Houses a 850nm multimode source and can be either a ST or SC connector. Charger Port - Allows for charging of re-chargable 9-volt batteries, as well as wall power operation. NOTE: DO NOT USE BATTERY CHARGING PORT WITH NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION AND DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE UNIT AND/OR THE USER.   1300nm Port - Houses a 1300nm multimode source and can be either a ST or SC connector. 850nm Indicator LED - Indicates the ON/OFF status of the 850nm LED source. 1300nm Indicator LED - Indicates the ON/OFF status of the 1300nm LED source. Charger Indicator LED - Indicates the status of the charger port. Power Button - Powers the unit ON or OFF. Wavelength Select Button - Switches the unit between 850nm and 1300nm.
