Optical Wavelength Labs KF7-xxx
Fiber OWL 7 Auto-Testing Certification Test Kit
The Fiber OWL 7 Quad Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in singlemode and multimode networks, commonly referred to in the industry as Tier 1 certification.
The included OWL 7 Fiber Optical Power Meter (F7) is multimode and singlemode ready, and contains a user-friendly Fiber Link Wizard with color diagrams to guide the setup process, calculate the link budget, and set the optical reference. Up to 10,000 fiber runs may be stored in internal memory, and can be downloaded to a PC for report generation with OWLView software.
Intelligent automated testing functions include automatic dual-wavelength storage and auto-wavelength recognition which reduce testing time and human error.
The universal detector port on the F7 comes with 2 adapter caps, one for 2.5mm connectors such as SC, ST, and FC, and the other for 1.25mm connectors such as LC.
The included WaveSource Pro Quad Fiber Optic Light Source (WPMS) is designed for accurate testing and certification of multimode (850nm & 1300nm) and singlemode (1310nm & 1550nm) networks. Its dual-wavelength outputs are temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements.
The WPMS has a built-in auto-wavelength switching protocol designed to synchronize the wavelength of the F7 with the current output wavelength.
