ORL-85/85P Optical Return Loss Meters

Product information "ORL-85/85P Optical Return Loss Meters"

Integrated Power Meter, Light Source, Connector Inspection; 1260 to 1650 nm; RL Measurement Range 0 to 70 dB; Power Measurement Range -85 to +15 dBm; Light Source Output Power -3 to -9 dBm; Source Modes CW, Tone, Auto-λ, Multi-λ; Connector Type APC, SC, FC, ST

Viavi Solutions’ ORL-85/85P series of SmartClass Fiber optical return loss meters combine optical power meter (OPM), light source (OLS), continuous wave return loss meter (OCWR) and connector inspection in one versatile and compact instrument – ideal for measuring optical return loss and inspecting fiber connector end faces to verify optical connection quality.

Optical systems with high-speed lasers, analog transmission (CATV), or Raman amplifiers require high return loss for maximum performance. Furthermore, optical return loss measurements can be used to prove that an installation was completed carefully and accurately; for example, they can show that the optical connectors were inspected and are clean. The ultra-sensitive power meter combined with stabilized light sources enable up to a 70 dB measurement range.

The angled single-mode test port (APC) guarantees highly accurate return loss measurements without requiring external termination for up to 50 dB return loss measurements.

The ORL-85/85P series is compatible with the P5000i digital analysis microscope for checking fiber end-face quality and getting pass/fail acceptance results at the push of a button. The ORL-85P features an integrated patch-cord microscope (PCM) for added value and improved workflow efficiency. Threshold settings for pass/fail indications and the intuitive touch screen user interface transforms users into instant fiber experts without the need for special training. Automatic functions, such as auto-λ and real-time multi-λ functionalities avoid handling errors and speed up test time significantly. The ORL-85/85P series are fully compatible with other members of the SmartClass Fiber family (OLS, OLP, and OLT) with these automatic functions. Users can easily save test results (power, return loss, and fiber inspection) with real-time stamp to generate certification reports. Test results can be easily uploaded to a PC for postprocessing with FiberChekPRO PC software. The ORL-85/85P inspection-ready optical return loss meters can be used anywhere today’s fiber technicians go, up poles or down holes. Technicians gain ultimate flexibility and performance from this powerful easy-to-use solution that can instantly transform any technician into a fiber expert.

OMK-34/35/36/38 Optical Test Kits
Handheld Optical Test Kit (Light Source LED/Laser, Optical Power Meter); 850, 1300, 1310, 1550 nm; Output Power -7 to -20 dBm; Power Measurement -65 to +25 dBm; ST, FC, SC, LC, UPP Adapters Viavi Solutions’ SmartPocket OMK-3x series of optical test kits is the new generation of pocket-sized and rugged instruments for installing and maintaining fiber optic networks. All test kits provide essential tools for power and insertion loss measurement - they are equipped with an optical power meter (OLP-3x) and a dual or quad-wavelength optical light source (OLS-3x) dedicated to power level, insertion loss measurements and continuity checks. A lightweight, shock-resistant splash-proof design and an extended operating time make OMK-3x test kits ideal solutions for field use. A switchable adapter system on the light source with a universal push pull (UPP) adapter on the power meter that handles all 2.5 mm connectors (1.25 mm as optional accessory) make OMK-3x test kit ready for every connector type in the field. Auto-λ recognition mode is a special feature developed by Viavi to identify wavelengths automatically, helping avoid any manipulation errors due to incorrect settings. In TWINTest mode, the source automatically toggles between two wavelengths. The far end optical power meter automatically measures both wavelengths. All Viavi SmartPocket optical power meters provide result storage capability of up to 100 results. A micro USB port provides straightforward downloading using SmartReporter software. This software offers PDF or Excel report generation with pass/fail analysis against customized or industry standard thresholds.
