OP930 Insertion Loss & Return Loss Meter

OP930

Most efficient Insertion Loss and Return Loss measurement currently on the market. The 'no mandrel' method combined with concurrent dual-wavelength measurement makes this instrument a winner.
  • Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL) measurement on single mode fibers & cables
  • Fully automated, concurrent dual wavelength IL and RL
  • Displays both readings, IL and RL, at the same time.
  • Mandrel free RL measurement, IEC/TIA approved RECM method
  • Approved to qualify all singlemode cables
  • USB Interface to custom applications or OPL_Pro, the comprehensive cable testing system
  • Various detector options, with interfaces to multifiber and multi-ferrule connectors

Features

With the OP930 series the Insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) on fiber optical components are measured fast and accurately.

The return loss is measured with the "no mandrel" method, meaning neither matching gel nor mandrel wraps are required at the far end of the cable. The insertion loss is measured by utilizing the stable laser source of the return-loss in combination with the precision optical power meter.

Like other OptoTest equipment the OP930 supports the USB interface. The OPL-PRO turnkey application software fully integrates this instrument into the data acquisition process of the high efficient production line.
