Bidirectional Loss, Length, ORL Testers KI 23400 Series
A Bidirectional Optical Loss Test set (OLTS) with optional length & ORL measurement that's perfect for medium to ultra-high fiber count loss & length & ORL testing. A pair of compact instruments set new standards of productivity, accuracy, and ease of use.
Each fiber needs just one test hook-up and one key press for a complete bidirectional loss, length and ORL test, The same test method is used for for both single-mode and multimode fiber, eliminating administration, training, and test errors. Testing is accurate and can take only 5 seconds, direct onto flexible standards-compliant Tier 1 certification reports. The Visitester option lights up the far end of the fiber to be tested, or on some models a separate VFL is provided.
Both instruments display length as well as bi-directional loss and optical return loss each end, in real time, with no need to specify master/slave instruments. A single instrument can also be used as a stand-alone light source & power meter, full-feature ORL meter, VFL, or tone generator / detector.
KI234x series instruments feature the optical return loss (ORL) test option, as well as having an ultra-stable source with zero warm-up time to specification. ORL test performance was enhanced in mid 2022.
