Fiber Loss Tester

Short fiber optic premises cabling networks are generally tested in three ways connector inspection cleaning with a microscope insertion loss testing with a light source and power meter or optical loss test set and polarity data meaning that the routing of fibers is confirmed so that when connecting equipment the tech can identify fiber pairs for transmit and receive.

Singlemode fiber is tested at 1310 nm and optionally at 1550 nm with laser sources. While there are many different fiber optic cable tests the most common version is an insertion loss test also known as an attenuation jumper or connectivity test. Loss testing is done at wavelengths appropriate for the fiber and its usage. This test requires a special testing kit and protective eyewear but it will help you diagnose problems with the cable s connectivity power and reliability.

This fiber optic cable troubleshooting tool has built in results storage and automatic wavelength synchronization save time and prevent errors. For simple fiber optic cable troubleshooting and verification testers the simplifiber pro light source and power meter solutions work together to measure multimode and singlemode fiber loss.
