Overview

A shirt-pocket size pocket fiber source is for testing of multimode, PCS or POF systems at 850 nm using a VCSEL source. It can also achieve useful short-range testing on singlemode systems at 1300 nm, since it has a specified output level into SMF.

We suggest that generally the KI9812A LED source is a better general multimode test solution, unless a VCSEL is specifically required.

  • 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 optical connectors
  • Full QA reports with ISO9001 compliant calibration
