Zoom 2 Optical Power Meter
The ZOOM 2 is one of the world's most economical and precise fiber optic power meters delivering professional performance and a complete feature set for optical loss testing in both multimode and Singlemode networks. The ZOOM 2 is N.I.S.T. Traceable and is calibrated at four commonly used industry standard wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, and 1550), which makes it an ideal choice for both multimode and Singlemode testing. Additionally, the ZOOM 2 is calibrated at 1490nm, making it an excellent option for measurement of *FTTx* PON networks. The ZOOM 2 can store reference values for all of its calibrated wavelengths, and displays optical power as an absolute value in dBm or relative to a user set "zero" reference in dB. It has an intuitive two-button interface, with one button controlling power and wavelength selection, while the other is used to toggle between dBm, dB, and uW, as well as setting the optical reference, or "zero". Other standard features include a 4-digit, 0.01dB resolution display, battery status indicator, and a 2.5mm Universal detector port that is compatible with FC, ST, SC, DIN, and any other 2.5 mm ferrule connectors! The following accessories are included with each ZOOM 2: rugged rubber boot, carrying strap, NIST certificate of calibration, and operations manual on CD. The ZOOM 2 can also be upgraded to include data storage and a download port to turn it into a full-featured fiber optic link certification power meter.

WaveTester Test Kits
WaveTester kits offer the fiber optic professional some of the best values in the industry. Whether performing standards-compliant testing, or just simple optical loss tests, there is a WaveTester kit configuration to meet nearly every need. WaveTester kits are now 10-Gigabit Ethernet ready. This new update allows fiber optic professionals to certify their fiber links for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, the next generation of fiber network. WaveTester kits include a WaveTester optical power meter, your choice of light source combinations, a hard-shell carrying case, protective rubber boots, lanyard straps, and free OWL Reporter software and operations guide on CD. The WaveTester meter comes standard with a small state-of-the-art UNIVERSAL port - fully reliable to allow use of ST, SC, FC or any 2.5 mm patch cables as test cable which saves money on consumables (test cables wear out). Sorry, physics and optics do not allow the same universal connector to work well on any brand of light source. Hence, light sources have fixed ST, SC, or FC connector ports. There are two versions of WaveTester kits. Our ALL NEW WaveSeries Auto-Test fiber optic test kits offer conveniences not found in many test kits in its class, including automatic wavelength switching and automatic data point storage, both of which save valuable testing time. Single-port dual-wavelength sources eliminate the need for separate reference cables, and also allow some versions to have an optional VFL installed. Need all four wavelengths? Our quad-wavelength test kit gives you 850, 1300, 1310, and 1550nm all in one source. WaveTester fiber optic test kits can also include our Dual OWL and Laser OWL line of light sources, which are offered as separate multimode (Dual OWL) and single-mode (Laser OWL) units. These manually operated sources offer an alternative for users who do not require the extra convenience of auto-testing. Products ship with owner's manuals on CD.

WaveSource Series Fiber Optic Light Sources
WaveSource series fiber optic light sources offer the fiber optic professional a wide range of options for their testing needs. Many different combinations are available: multimode only, Singlemode only, or both multimode and Singlemode. Our quad-wavelength version (WS-MDSD) has all four wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1550) in one unit! Visual Fault Locators (VFL) can also be added to multimode only and Singlemode only versions. VFLs can be used in both multimode and Singlemode fibers. All versions of the WaveSource have two transmission modes: Continuous Wave (CW) for accurate temperature-stabilized fiber optic tests; and modulated mode. Modulated mode provides for an auto-testing function when used with the Fiber OWL 4 or WaveTester optical power meters. The modulated signal from the WaveSource tells the WaveTester to switch to the currently selected wavelength, which eliminates much of the guesswork during tests, and saves valuable time. WaveSource light sources come configured with your choice of SC, ST, or FC

Laser HOOTS

LASER HOOTS is a LED based talk set which also serves as a calibrated -10dBm light source. LASER HOOTS uses LED light source technology to convert voice into optical signals.

It is a reliable alternative to wireless communications systems used within a premise enviroment due to electromagnetic immunity. LASER HOOTS can be embedded as a premanent part of a fiber network installation.

VOLT - Visual Optical Lenght Tester
VOLT is a unique low-cost alternative unit for measuring the lenght of optical fibers. Fiber installations are increasingly required to comply with bid requirements. Rather than purchase certification test sets that can cost thousands of dollars, the VOLT-1 can be added to exisiting fiber test kits. The VOLT-1 lenght tester uses a 'round-robin' method of measuring fiber lengh. This accomplished by looping back two fibers at one end of the fiber run with a patch cord. The time the light takes to travel through both fibers is converted into kilometers, then divided in two to show the lenght of the fiber optic cable. There is no need to measure all the fibers in the cable; the lenght measurement can be applied to all fiber in the cable. This method of lenght testing provides accurate measurements. Measuring fiber by the jacket is an accepted method of measurement; however there can be many scenarios where this may not be valid . Lenght marking may be hard to reach if they are terminated in a patch panel. Fiber links may also go through multiple cross-connects or have splices in the middle, thereby making jacket marking invalid. The VOLT-1 uses a visable laser the can measure fiber links of upto 1.5 KM and is accurate to within +2.5 meters. VOLT PDF USA/Canada (1534kb) VOLT PDF UK/Europe (1346kb)
