Tempo T2824 LED & Laser Quad Optical Test Source
This LED & laser quad source is a general purpose test source for multimode & single mode systems at 850, 1300 nm & 1310, 1550 nm. Typical applications include fiber optic attenuation measurement, polarity testing and fiber identification on critical systems.
- Encircled Flux compliant multimode source
- Easy to use, rugged & versatile
- Long battery life, micro USB power/charger
- Interchangeable connectors with dust cap & tilt bail
- Superior re-connection repeatability, < 0.1 dB
- Excellent stability
- Autotest & Multi-Fiber ID Tone generator
- Full QA & test reports ISO/IEC 17025 traceable
The T2400 / 2800 series Handheld Fibre Sources are used with an Optical Power Meter to test loss on single mode, multimode & POF optical fibre systems, at up to 6 wavelengths. The 2800 series provide excellent stability, and the 2400 series provide exceptional stability with zero warm up. High productivity, high availability and ease of use combine to achieve superior measurement confidence.
The innovative and unique VisiTester option is helpful for general loss testing, continuity testing & fault finding. These Autotest sources can be used with any Kingfisher Autotest optical power meter, loss test set or two-way tester.
