KI 7340C Series
PREMIUM TWO WAY OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET
WITH OPTICAL RETURN LOSS (ORL)
Optical Communications
Test Applications
•Attenuation testing
•System power testing
•ORL testing
•Continuity testing
Revision 25
The KI 7340C series is the industry's fastest and
easiest bi-directional loss tester. Average fiber
optic link loss and ORL each end is
automatically displayed in real time on both
instruments, at multiple wavelengths, via a
single fiber.
Featuring zero warm up, high speed and high
accuracy, results can either be stored in
internal memory, or inserted directly into a
customized acceptance report on a PC, with
one mouse click.
Detector & calibration options cover a wide
range of connector types, fiber types and
CWDM wavelengths from +27 to -70 dBm with
1% Traceable Accuracy.
It is a robust, reliable and easy to use
instrument for high performance single mode
or multimode fiber optic cable testing.

KI 7340C Series - PREMIUM TWO WAY OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET WITH OPTICAL RETURN LOSS (ORL)
This is the industry fastest and easiest bi-directional loss test set. From
start of test to acceptance report takes one mouse click and 4
seconds per wavelength.
The real-time loss and ORL display on both instruments means that
cable certification and rectification use the same procedure, which
simplifies training and operating procedures.
Autotest is available on both Test and Meter ports and is compatible
with all other Autotest instruments. When a pair of identical models
are used, the HOLD functions provide handy communication
method between two users, so they can synchronize while working
through successive fibers.
High availability is the result of zero warm up, >190 hour battery life,
patented interchangeable optical connectors for both ports, 3 year
calibration cycle and superior reliability.
The instrument is also a standalone traceable power meter, multi-
light source and Optical Return Loss Tester.
The ORL Zero function compensates for residual reflections, and
provides extended measurement range with improved linearity.
The ORL User Calibration Mode compensates for stray losses in a
test set-up, which improves overall accuracy.
Multimode LED sources feature standards compliant beam geometry
& modal distribution across the fiber core, results in greatly improved
measurement accuracy.
The new InGaAs detectors have wider wavelength response range
from 600 ~ 1700 nm. It provides good response for all common
wavelengths.
Flexible KITS™ PC software is a real-time measurement, Pass/Fail
assessment and reporting solution. Easily customized for any
language and reporting format, it also supports memory download,
data logging, label printing, legacy instruments and enterprise level
data management.

Note 8: After a zero offset, measurement range will be 10 dB better than the connector or other residual ORL. So PC connectors have
reduced range.
Note 9: Port Isolation is the passive return loss isolation of an ORL test port (with the instrument turned off). This is not relevant for manual
ORL testing, when only one active ORL meter is connected. However, in Autotest, the ORL range is limited to the port isolation value
when the link attenuation is small. If the standard 30 dB port isolation is inadequate, order the 50 dB port isolation built-in option -
ISO50, e.g. KI 73416C-InGaAs-ISO50. In any test situation, the Autotest ORL range limit (in dB) will be: port isolation (dB) + 2 x link
loss (dB), up to the instrument specification.
