Typical Applications

The fiber optic test kit offers these typical applications:

FPM 101 Power Meter:

High power model for CATV and Telco

Enterprise/LAN for singlemode and multimode measurements

Passive optical networks (PON) testing

LAN/WAN multimode or singlemode networks

FLS 101 Light Source:

Certify multimode and singlemode links per TIA/EIA standards

Certify multimode fiber links for Gigabit Ethernet (GBE)

Test Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks

Fiber identification before splicing

Accessories

Fiber optic test reference cables are required to connect the instruments to the fiber optic system, cable, or network under test. A test reference cable must have the same core and cladding size as the fiber under test. The connector at one end of the test reference cable must mate with the optical port on each instrument. The connector on the other end must mate with the fiber optic system under test.

LC connector adapter caps are provided for the FPM 101 and FLS 101 optical ports. One pair of singlemode and one pair of multimode reference cables with LC connectors on each end are also provided.

NOTE: Optical ports and connector end faces must be kept free from dirt or other

contaminates to ensure accurate measurements and operation.

For cleaning connector end faces on the FLS 101 light source, test reference

cables, and in fiber frames or adapters, use optical quality cleaning fluid.

For cleaning the FPM/FLS 101 optical ports and adapter caps, use lint-free optical cleaning wipes with optical quality cleaning fluid and a can of filtered compressed air.
