The MLP4-2 test kit combines the OPM4-2D optical power meter
and OLS1-Dual LED light source and is ideally suited for testing
multimode fiber optic networks.
The OLS1-Dual features 850 and 1300 nm LED output from
a single output port and is easy to operate with only a power
button and a wavelength select button. Each wavelength may be
transmitted individually at CW or with Wave ID. When transmitting
with Wave ID, the OLS1-Dual supports transmitting pairs of
wavelengths in an alternating pattern. Associated with each
operating condition, the designated LED indicator will illuminate
to identify the currently enabled operating mode and emitted
wavelength(s) along with battery charge status and external power
presence. The OLS1-Dual output port is equipped with UCI based
removable adapters to allow the output connectors to be inspected
and cleaned.
When used with the OLS1-Dual, the OPM4-2D offers automatic
wavelength identification and switching - Wave ID feature that
automatically detects and sets the wavelength(s), preventing
setup and measurement errors. It significantly increases efficiency
and reduces technician errors—and saves testing time—by
eliminating the need to test each wavelength individually. The
OPM4-2D stores optical references for each calibrated wavelength
and offers multiple test tone detection for fiber identification. The
OPM4-2D optical input port accepts a variety of Noyes thread-on
style adapter caps (ordered separately) to meet a wide range of
testing requirements.
The MLP4-2 test kit is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
