OptoTest OP725-OP940 Bidirectional IL/RL Test System

The OptoTest OP725 is an optical switch for single mode or multimode applications available in a slim-line, half-rack enclosure. This optical switch is USB powered and incorporates the latest technology in high-speed switching.  With high repeatability and low loss, the OP725 is ideally suited for bidirectional testing.

Paired with our OP940 Insertion & Return Loss Meter, operators can make quick work of measuring both ends of cables in a truly bidirectional manner.

The OP725 can be connected to the OP940 via USB to allow control of bidirectional switching via the OP940’s front panel controls or in OPL-PRO software.

It can also be used in more complex, multi-instrument configurations with other OptoTest instruments (for example, an OP710) and OPL-MAX / OPL-LOG software.

Features:

• Fully automated, concurrent dual wavelength IL and RL measurements with no mandrel wrapping

• Bidirectional operation; measuring total insertion loss and individual return loss

• External power meter for uni-directional operation

• On-board, InGaAs optical power meter features measurement range reaching -65dBm

• Available in multimode and single mode

• Quad-wavelength (FTTX) single mode model also available upon request

• Controlled launch condition (underfill, fully filled, overfill) available for multimode fiber

• Wide dynamic range on return loss measurements:
  10dB to 80dB for single mode
  10dB to 58dB for multimode

• Can be controlled remotely via USB using OPL series software or OptoTest DLLs

• Integrated temperature monitoring

• Convenient benchtop size (19-inch rackmount frame available upon request)
