For installers who have to measure both multi-mode and single-mode fibers, measuring modules are available that can do both:

• OMK-36 – Power and Attenuation Measurement Unit for SM/MM
  Compact design
• SmartPocket OMK-55 Measurement Kit
  The most powerful measurement kit
• SMLP-5 Optical Loss Test Set for Single-mode and Multi-mode
  The most widely-used attenuation measurement unit on the German market
• OLTS85/85P – Handheld tester from the SmartClass™ fiber product family
  Fast and easy-to-operate handheld measuring units for tier 1 certification

Four wavelengths are available in the OMK-36 measurement kit, which consists of the OLS-36 dual light source and the OLP-35 power meter with a UPP interface. Thus, it is well suited for the power measurement and loss measurement of SM and MM fibers. A power meter with USB option is also available - it is called OMK-3xP.

OMK-55 SmartPocket measurement kits guarantee professional power measurements and loss measurements in all areas. These measurement kits can be assembled from different units: This includes OLP-55 series power meters and different level attenuators for single-mode and multi-mode fibers on an optional basis:

• OLP-55 SMART Optical Power Meters
  OLP-55 series optical power meters are powerful units used in the installation and maintenance of single-mode and multi-mode cables and networks.

• OLA-55 SMART Optical Level Attenuator
  The kit can also be equipped with an OLA-55 SMART series optical level attenuator on an optional basis, which can be used for applications in systems up to 40 Gbps.

The OMK-55 kit is used if an increased number of calibrated wavelengths is required to meet the highest performance standards in the industry. To guarantee the highest possible accuracy, all measurement results are based on the traceable NIST/PTB detection standard. In addition, the integrated USB port can be used for remote monitoring. At the same time, it facilitates the simple transmission of measurement results and their analysis. Thanks to the graphical user interface, operation is easy. Moreover, the quick-start option allows the units to be used immediately (i.e., without having to wait for the units to warm up).

The SMLP5-5 measurement kit is suited for single-mode and multi-mode fibers. It consists of the OLS4 quad light source, which has two LED ports (850 nm and 1300 nm) and an additional two laser wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm). The OPM5 is used as the power meter, which has internal storage capacity.

This revolutionary modular fiber optic test system from AFL makes the fast transfer of measurement results to the cloud possible for direct processing and central storage of the data or, if necessary, remote control of measurement. Based on the ROGUE™ hardware platform, controlled by a mobile phone or tablet and coordinated by the aeros™ software platform, this is the future of fiber optic measurement technology. OLTS measurement modules were the first ones available and are now joined by the FOCIS Flex connector microscope. The software can manage measurement data regardless of the platform and manufacturer.

The tier 1 certification of optical fibers is fast and easy with the OLTS-85/85P attenuation measuring station’s handheld tester from VIAVI.

The expansion of the popular SmartClass™ fiber family makes the following possible:

• Calculation of the fiber length
• Measurement of the optical attenuation (two fibers, two wavelengths)
• Verification of the polarity
• Inspection of the fiber end faces
• Preparation of certification reports

The easy-to-operate SmartClass™ fiber OLTS-85/85P handheld testers are extremely powerful and offer maximum flexibility and efficiency. The user becomes an automatic optical fiber expert with this unit.

The time that testing and certification take is reduced by half, and the customer can be reassured that his optical network meets quality standards.
