AUGUST 23, 2006 -- AFL Telecommunications (search AFL Telecommunications) today announced two new Noyes Contractor Series Test Kits for multimode and singlemode loss testing. According to the company, the kits are ideal for testing and certifying a range of fiber-optic networks, including LANs, WANs, IXC, CATV, and telecom.
CKM 2 Contractor Series Multimode Test Kit with Set Reference
Combining AFL's CSM1-2 optical power meter and CSS1-MM Dual LED light source, the CKM 2 is designed for performing insertion loss measurements on multimode fiber-optic links.
The CSS1-MM Dual light source features 850-nm and 1300-nm LED output from a single output port and offers two modes of operation: continuous wave (CW) and user selectable modulated tone. The LED output is stabilized to ensure accurate test results per current TIA/EIA requirements and is equipped with a fixed SC connector. An easy to read LCD display with backlight shows emitted wavelengths [nm], tone frequency [Hz], and low battery condition.
The CSM1-2 optical power meter operates at 850/ 1300/ 1310/ 1550 nm and features multiple test tone detection for fiber identification. The CSM1-2 stores optical references for each calibrated wavelength. An LCD display with backlight shows measured power [dBm or µ W] or insertion loss [dB], calibrated wavelengths, tone frequency [Hz], and low battery condition. The CSM optical input port accepts Noyes thread-on style adapter caps. One adapter cap, 2.5-mm Universal, is included. A variety of Noyes thread-on style adapter caps (FC, SC, LC, etc.) may be ordered separately.
Powered by two AA alkaline batteries, the CSS1-MM dual LED light source offers over 75 hours of operation, and the CSM1-2 optical power meter offers over 300 hours of operation with backlight off. Weighing only 0.4 lb each, both units are compact and convenient for field use, say company representatives. The CSS1-MM Dual LED light source and CSM1-2 optical power meter are fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
CKSM 2 Contractor Series Multimode and Singlemode Test Kit with Set Reference
Featuring AFL's CSM1-2 optical power meter, CSS1-MM Dual LED light source, and CSS1-SM Dual LASER source, the CKSM 2 test kit performs insertion loss measurements on multimode as well as singlemode fiber-optic links.
The CSS1-MM and CSS1-SM sources feature Dual output, 850- /1300-nm LED or 1310-/ 1550-nm LASER respectively, from a single output port. Both CSS1 models offer two modes of operation: continuous wave (CW) and user selectable modulated tone. The CSS1-MM LED and CSS1-SM LASER output ports are stabilized to ensure accurate test results per current TIA/EIA requirements. An LCD display with backlight shows emitted wavelengths [nm], tone frequency [Hz], and low battery condition. The CSS1-MM model output port is equipped with a fixed SC connector, while the CSS1-SM output port is equipped with Universal Connector Interface (UCI) base and SC adapter.
