KI 9800A Series Pocket Light Sources
Product information "KI 9800A Series Pocket Light Sources"
Light Source Laser, LED or VCSEL; 635-1625 nm; Output Power -32-0 dBm; Optical Power Stability 0.01-0.8 dB; Autotest Compatible; Source or VFL Options
Kingfisher’s KI 9800A Series shirt-pocket fiber sources are used to test optical loss, multi-fiber polarity checking or fault finding in all optical fiber systems, at 1 to 3 wavelengths. High productivity, high stability, rugged construction and ease of use combine to achieve superior measurement confidence.
With wavelengths ranging from 635 nm to 1625 nm, the KI 9800A Series pocket fiber sources are used for loss testing, polarity checking or fault finding on single mode (SM), multi mode (MM), PCS or plastic optical fiber (POF) cable. Tough construction includes general moisture resistance, rubber corners and proven ability to withstand drops of over 2 m onto a hard surface. The sources meet the general requirements of MIL PRF 28800F Class 2.
Interchangeable optical connectors are dust and drop protected. An SC adaptor is supplied; other styles include the popular LC. Use of metal-free adaptors avoids contamination of connectors in high power systems. Reconnection repeatability is <0.1 dB, resulting in exceptional practical source stability. Calibration is ISO 17025 traceable.
When used with an Autotest-compatible power meter or loss test set, one-button multi-wavelength loss testing is achieved. Test tones can be used with a compatible power meter or clip-on identifier for fiber detection, polarity checking, fault finding and route location.
When used with a multi-fiber ID-compatible power meter, multiple sources can be set up to uniquely identify up to 12 fibers at a time. The tamper-lock limited feature mode enables a site manager to lock and track instrument settings to reduce operation skill and improve both test confidence and traceability.
