Tempo T9812A Pocket Fibre Optic Laser Test Source
A shirt-pocket size LED fibre source ideal for general testing of multimode, PCS or POF systems at 850 and 1300 nm. It provides, high accuracy and simplicity of use. It can also achieve useful short-range testing on singlemode systems at 1300 nm, since it has a specified output level into SMF.
- Encircled Flux compliant modal distribution
- Rugged, drop-resistant construction
- User defeatable auto turn-off
- Excellent stability
- Lanyard, shirt pocket clip & padded pouch
- Tone generator & Multi-Fiber ID function
- Easy use TamperLock mode
- Compatible with Autotest power meters
- Interchangeable connectors
- Full QA reports with ISO9001 compliant calibration
The T9800A Pocket Fibre Source is used for loss testing, polarity checking or fault finding on single mode, multimode, PCS or plastic optical fibre (POF) cable. Tough construction includes general moisture resistance, rubber
corners and proven ability to withstand drops of over 2 meters onto a hard surface. It meets the general requirements of MIL PRF 28800F Class 2.
Interchangeable optical connectors are dust and drop protected. An SC adaptor is supplied; other styles include the popular LC. Use of metal-free adaptors avoids contamination of connectors in high power systems.
Reconnection repeatability is < 0.1 dB, resulting in exceptional practical source stability. Calibration is ISO 17025 traceable. When used with an Autotest compatible Power Meter or Loss Test Set, one button multi-wavelength loss testing is achieved.
Test tones can be used with a compatible Power Meter or clip on identifier for fiber detection, polarity checking, fault finding and route location. When used with a Multi-Fiber ID compatible Power Meter, multiple sources can be set up to uniquely identify up to 12 fibers at a time. 1310 / 1490 / 1550 / 1625 nm laser sources are ideal for single-mode testing, with T9600 or T2600 series power meters.
