Fiber optic test kits are essential tools for testing the attenuation of fiber optic cables. The ZOOM 2/Dual OWL/Laser OWL Test Kit is ideal for LAN managers and installers performing attenuation tests on both multimode and singlemode fiber optic networks. This comprehensive kit allows users to measure current signal output and identify abnormal signal losses. If inconsistencies are detected, the kit provides the tools necessary to conduct further testing and pinpoint the source of the issue.
The ZOOM 2 (Zeroed Output Optical Meter) is an economical power meter that offers accurate measurements of multimode and singlemode fiber cables. Its 4-digit, 7-segment LCD displays power readings with 0.01dB resolution for precise results. On-screen indicators show measurement units (dBm, dB, µW), wavelength, and battery life. Configured with a 2.5mm universal connector, it works seamlessly with ST, SC, and other fiber connectors.
The kit also includes two light sources:
- Dual OWL 850: A NIST-traceable multimode LED light source with temperature-stabilized output for accurate readings.
- Laser OWL 1310: A NIST-traceable singlemode FP laser light source optimized for 9/125 fiber optic cables with ST, SC, and FC connector options.
These user-friendly kits require minimal training, making them ideal for both seasoned professionals and new installers.
