OWL Fiber OWL 4 BOLT Quad Test Kit

The Fibre OWL 4 BOLT Quad Test kit is a highly accurate, high resolution multimode and singlemode fibre certification test kit with integrated fibre length testing. This test kit will allow the user to test and certify fibre optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards to ensure a network installation adheres to the specified standards, and will produce hard-copy documentation as proof that the network installation has met such cabling standards.

Please note that as the WaveTester is built to order, delivery on this item is usually 7-10 working days

The Fiber OWL 4

The Fiber OWL 4 is a high accuracy, high resolution, microprocessor controlled optical power meter with a large, backlit, graphic, liquid crystal display, and 18-key keypad for easy data entry. The universal port accepts 2.5mm connectors, such as ST, SC, and FC, and also comes with a 1.25mm universal port, which can accept LC, MU, and other SFF connectors. It will operate for over 100 hours on a standard alkaline 9v battery and has built-in auto shut down. A length testing light source comes standard for fibre optic link length measurements.

The Fiber OWL 4 includes a built-in link wizard that easily calculates the allowable loss for the fiber runs being 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, cabling standard, and calculated or entered reference power values for two wavelengths.

In addition the meter will store up to 1000 measured data points with labels. Each value includes the fibre 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 serial port or all of the stored data can be downloaded to the free OWL Reporter software.

The WaveSource Quad Light Source

The quad-wavelength version (WS-MDSD) light source offers all four wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1550) in one unit. The WaveSource has two transmission modes: Continuous Wave (CW) for accurate temperature-stabilised fibre optic tests; and modulated mode. Modulated mode provides for an auto-testing function when used with the Fiber OWL 4 or WaveTester optical power meters. The modulated signal from the WaveSource tells the WaveTester to switch to the currently selected wavelength, which eliminates much of the guesswork during tests, and saves valuable time.

WaveSource light sources come configured with your choice of either SC, ST, or FC connector ports.
