OWL KIT-WT-D2ST-L2SC WaveTester / Dual OWL (ST Connector) / Laser OWL (SC Connector) Test Kit

The WaveTester/Dual OWL/Laser OWL Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in multimode networks at 850 nm and 1300 nm, and singlemode networks at 1310nm and 1550 nm.

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 WaveTester optical power meter is multimode and singlemode ready, and can store reference values for all wavelengths used for optical loss measurements. Up to 200 fiber runs may be stored, and serially downloaded to a PC for report generation using our OWL Reporter software.

General Features

6. Battery Indicator - The battery indicator shows the amount of life is remaining in the battery. Also, when the battery recharger is in use, the bars in the battery icon are animated to show that the recharger is active.
7. Data Indicator - This icon shows whether there is data stored in the WaveTester.
8. Units Indicator - The units indicator shows which units are being currently displayed. Units are shown in either dBm, dB, uW, or mW.
9. Wavelength Indicator - The wavelength indicator shows the currently selected wavelength in nanometers (nm).
10. SAVE / DOWNLOAD button - To store a data point, press this button. Hold the button to download data points in comma-delimited format. This button can also be used to erase all stored data if it is held while the meter is being powered ON.
11. ON / OFF / Backlight button - When the unit is off, press this button to power on. When the unit is on, press this button to toggle the backlight on and off. When the unit is on, hold this button to power off.
12. AUTO button - Press this button to change wavelengths. Hold this button to set the meter in AUTO mode. AUTO mode scans incoming power for modulated optical signals, and switches wavelengths automatically when a corresponding modulated signal is received (for use with WaveSource light sources only.)
13. UNITS / ZERO button - Press this button to change display units - either dBm, dB, uW or mW. Holding this button will set a ZERO reference for the currently selected wavelength.

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