Pocket Optical Power Meter KI 9600XL-Si5
The inexpensive KI 9600XL-Si5 Shirt-Pocket Power Meter is a simple and reliable optical power meter with a large-area 5 mm Silicon detector for testing power and loss on plastic fiber, PCS and multimode fiber optic systems with MPO & other connectors, or free-space light beams up to +5 dBm. It provides high accuracy and simplicity of use.
- 9 calibration λ, ±2% accuracy, ISO 17025 traceable
- Small size, easy to use, rugged & reliable
- dBm / dB / linear, 0.01 dB resolution
- Display hold & max/min recording
- Tone detector with Multi-Fiber ID
- Easy to use TamperLock mode
- Interchangeable connectors
- Full QA reports

Interchangeable connectors
Use a single tester for: SC, LC, MPO, FC, HFBR, & other connectors - including universal & duplex options.

Test tone with multi-fiber ID
Send & identify one of 12 unique test tones. Great for quickly verifying continuity, polarity and rack labelling.

ILAC/NATA ISO 17025 optical calibration
Internationally recognised traceable optical calibration to ISO17025

TamperLock mode
Lock down user controls and configuration to reduce the risk of test failure.
