Product information "OBR 4600 Optical Backscatter Reflectometers"

Zero Dead Zone; 1270-1610 nm; Resolution 10-250 µm; Scan Time 0.4-16 s; Max. Device Length 30-2,000 m; Dynamic Range 60, 80 dB; Backscatter-level Sensitivity -130 dB

OBR 4600 optical backscatter reflectometers are part of Luna’s award-winning OBR Optical Backscatter Reflectometer product line. Designed for component testing, short run network testing and troubleshooting, the OBR 4600 reflectometers enable ultra-high resolution reflectometry with backscatter level sensitivity.

The OBR 4600 reflectometers feature spatial resolution as fine as 10 µm, no dead zone and an extremely low noise floor. The OBR 4600 comes with an extensive range of options including a strain and temperature sensing package with maximum sensor lengths up to 2 km.

To increase the functionality of their OBR 4600 optical backscatter reflectometer, users can add the following options:

Spot Scan Option: Allows the user to narrow the scan range to 1 to 2 m area within the network under test. This reduces the time required to scan and also allows the user to focus exclusively on the area of interest.
Hard Shell Carrying Case Option: The OBR 4600 can be provided with a hard shell carrying case for applications that require portability or exposure to more rugged environments.
2 km Sensing Length Option: The OBR 4600 range can be extended up to 2 km with a 3 mm spatial resolution and no dead zone.
Software Development Kit Option: A selection of DLL files can be provided to allow users to customize their own test equipment user interface with the OBR 4600 operation.
Lightpath Analysis Software Option: Allows the user to program a go/no go check based on a pre-selected characterization of a component or network. This option is ideal for testing and can reduce a complicated analysis to a simple pass/fail end of line production test.
Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensing Package: This option allows the user to make strain or temperature measurements using sensors made with standard unaltered fiber optic cable that does not require fiber bragg gratings. The distributed sensing option can provide sub-cm spatial resolution with sensors up to 2 km.

SC Simplex Adapters

SC/PC, SC/APC; Sleeve Zirconia, Metal; Simplex; Fiber Type SM/MM/PM Optoplast’s series of SC simplex adapters are suited for single mode and multi mode applications. Compliant with IEC 60874-14-3 and IEC 61754-4, they connect any single mode, multi mode or polarization maintaining fiber cable terminated with industry-standard SC Simplex Connector Kits and minimize back reflections by bringing the fibers’ cores into physical contact. Equipped with standard metal (multi mode), standard zirconia (single mode and multi mode) or low-loss zirconia mating sleeves (single mode), these high-quality manufactured adapters reliably align the cores of each terminated fiber, guaranteeing a very low insertion loss. After 500 connections the insertion loss variation stays below 0.10 dB. This series of SC adapters is available in flanged and flangeless versions. Both versions incorporate a metal clip with two tabs that snap into place when inserted into a panel with a maximum thickness of 1.7 mm. In addition to that, flanged adapters with their two threw holes in the flange can be attached to panels or L-brackets using screws. On request, the SC simplex adapters can also be supplied without metal clip. The light weight products are easy to handle and allow for fast mounting to panels with rectangular opening in various applications and environments. While the body (external housing) of SC simplex flangeless adapters is made from plastic (PBT 20% FRP), the flanged versions are available with plastic (PBT 2% FRP) or metal (nickel plated zinc alloy) body. All materials allow for an operating temperature from -25 to +70 °C. The SC simplex adapters can be produced in six standard colors – beige (RAL 1013), blue (RAL 5015), green (RAL 6018), dark green (RAL 6029), aqua (RAL 6027) and erica violet (RAL 4003) – other colors are available on request. Each SC simplex adapter variant is packaged as standard in units of 100 pieces. While metal adapters have no logo on the external housing, plastic adapters can be supplied without logo (standard), with Optoplast logo or, for reasonable quantities, with customer logo. Key Features: - Adapters/ Mating Sleeves to Align SC/PC or SC/APC Connector Terminated Fiber Cables - Low Insertion Loss - High Durability - Precision Alignment Straight Split Sleeves - Compact and Lightweight - Easy Panel Installation Applications: Local Area Network (LAN); Network Applications, Particularly With Single Mode Fibers

IFA-100 Interferometric Fiber Analyser

500 to 1000 nm; Refractive Index Accuracy ±0.0001; Spatial Resolution 500 nm; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM, Other; Fiber Diameter 40 to 400 µm Interfiber Analysis’ IFA-100 multi-wavelength interferometric optical fiber analyzer can measure the refractive index profile of an optical fiber without the need for a cleave at wavelengths from 375 to 2000 nm. By scanning the fiber from the side, the IFA-100 unit allows for scanning and measuring the optical refractive index profile (RIP) along the fiber’s length with sub-micron spatial resolution. The measurement is independent of cumbersome fiber preparation like cleaving and allows for measuring the evolution of the refractive index profile over a given length of fiber. The equipment uses a broadband light source and can determine the refractive index profile at any wavelength between visible and near infrared. The refractive index or index of refraction (IOR) is a property of any material. For optically transmitting materials, such as for fibers and waveguides, it is reflected in the reduced speed of light when travelling through any media other than vacuum. Fibers and waveguides use a distribution of the IOR within their cross section to guide and reflect light, and knowledge of this distribution allows many other critical performance parameters to be calculated, such as mode fields, group and phase propagation constants and fiber dispersion. Based on Interfiber Analysis’ IFA-100 multi-wavelength interferometric optical fiber analyzer, AMS Technologies offers refractive index measurement services for product development, incoming inspection and forensic analysis on optical fibers. Key Features: Multi-wavelength: 500 to 1000 nm No Cleave Required Sub-µm Spatial Resolution: About 500 nm Applicable to Any Fiber Type Fast Measurement Refractive Index Accuracy: ±0.0001 Fiber Diameter: 40 to 400 µm Fiber Material: Silica Glass, Non-silica Glass, Plastic Concentricity Error Measurement: ±200 nm Core Non-circularity Error Measurement: ± 0.4% Fiber Type: Single Mode (SM), Multi Mode (MM), Polarization Maintaining PM), Micro-Structured (PCF), Multicore, Rare-earth, Cladding-pumped, Large Mode Area (LMA), Low Bend Loss, High-Δ, etc. Applications: Measuring Splices, Tapers or Couplers of Any Fiber Type; Test and Measurement; Telecommunication; Lasers
