APPLICATIONS:
The Fiber OWL OPTICAL WAVELENGTH LABORATORIES 4 VFL is a high accuracy, high resolution,
microprocessor controlled optical power meter. The meter has a
75dB dynamic range making it ideal for both singlemode and
multimode fiber testing. An integrated visual fault locator port allows
for quick and easy visual fault location or visual fiber identification.
It is much more user-friendly than previous versions of the Fiber
OWL, including an optional upgrade to include fiber link length
testing. When used with OWL OPTICAL WAVELENGTH LABORATORIES WaveSource light sources, its autowavelength
recognition feature detects the wavelength being
received from the light source and automatically switches to that
wavelength, allowing simultaneous dual-wavelength optical
referencing and data storage. This feature increases productivity by
decreasing testing time and human error.
It has an attractive handheld case made from high impact plastic
surrounded by a protective rubber boot, a large, backlit, graphic,
liquid crystal display, and 18-key keypad for easy data entry. The
fixed universal connector port accepts 2.5mm ferrule connectors,
including ST, SC, and FC. It will operate for over 100 hours on a
standard 9-volt battery and has built-in auto shutdown.
The Fiber OWL OPTICAL WAVELENGTH LABORATORIES 4 VFL includes a built-in loss wizard that helps you
easily calculate the allowable loss for the fiber runs that you will be
measuring. The meter stores physical fiber information for up to eight
links. Link information includes: link name, date, fiber type, fiber
length, connectors, splices, temperature, and calculated or userdefined
reference power values. In addition, the meter will store up to
1000 measured data points with labels. Each value includes the fiber
type and link.
The stored information can be selectively viewed, edited (measured
again), printed, or deleted. The meter will print formatted reports of
selected stored data directly using the built-in USB port, or all of the
stored data can be downloaded to a computer spreadsheet or our
free OWL OPTICAL WAVELENGTH LABORATORIES Reporter software to produce formatted certification
reports.
