TYPICAL USES: TELCO, WAN, LAN, CATV, IT, Industrial, Manufacturing, and Laboratory Environments
Fiber OWL 7 series test kits are ideal for the fiber optic professional who requires standards-based certification of fiber links, including TIA-568, ISO 11801, various Ethernet standards, among others. The Fiber OWL 7 can also be configured with custom standards to meet the needs of various fiber optic applications.
Each Fiber OWL 7 test kit comes with a N.I.S.T. Traceable Fiber OWL 7 optical power meter and a WaveSource Pro fiber optic light source, based upon fiber type and wavelength.
Included with each test kit are a hard-shell carrying case, protective rubber boots, certificate of NIST-traceability, USB battery chargers and cables, and a USB flash drive with free OWLView software and operation manual.
Fiber OWL 7 optical power meters come standard with a state-of-the-art UNIVERSAL adapter port system. For more information about universal ports, watch our Universal Ports video:
Two adapter cap options are available, based on the two most common ferrule diameters used in the fiber optics industry:
2.5mm: ST, SC, and FC
1.25mm: LC, MU, and other SFF connectors
The flexibility of universal ports saves money on consumables (since test cables wear out over time).
Physics and optics do not allow the same universal connector port to work well on any brand of light source. Hence, light sources must have fixed ST, SC, or FC connector ports. Watch our video about Interchangeable Light Source Ports for more information.
