Overview
The SSF-LS100SM Single Mode optical light source provides single
to tri wavelength output, including 1310/1550nm wavelengths for
single mode fiber.
The SSF-LS100MM Multimode optical light source provides single
to tri wavelength output, including 850/1300nm wavelengths for
multimode fiber.
Together with the SSF-PM100 power meter, the optical light source
provides an accurate test solution for single mode and/or multimode
optical fiber networks.
Features
• Single to tri-wavelength combination
• Continuous and modulated signal
• Real time display of battery level and low power indication
• Back light function
• Auto shut-off function
• Alkaline battery operation
