We specifically designed the OP710 for measurement
tasks where optical power levels of multiple fibers have to
be captured simultaneously. Making no compromises, we
focused on implementing a solid power meter for each channel
that communicates at high data rates with a USB capable
communications processor that controls the data acquisition
the user interface, and interacts with a Windows
workstation. The result: a power meter that operates on 24
channels at once
The OP500 series are the first
USB optical power meters for the fiber optics industry. These small modules
contain what usually is found in state-of-the-art GPIB operated fiber optic
power meters. By eliminating bulky GPIB connectors, AC powered supplies and
heat dissipating electronics OptoTest implemented a precision optical power
meter at a fraction of the cost and in a much smaller space.
All the OP500 models are based
on the same basic fundamental building blocks: the refined optical power
meter circuit, the ultra low power RISC processors and the USB 1.1
compatible power and data interface. The built in flexibility allows various
detector types and multiple channels.
OP508
USB Fiber Optic Power
Sensor
The OP508 was specifically
designed for applications where cost-effectivesolutions
for measuring, monitoring and logging of insertion loss or power
fluctuations are needed. The OP508 is a small (4"x2"x1.25")
desk-friendly
module designed such that minimal movement and bending of the
reference and test cables is necessary. This results in stable, accurate
and repeatable measurements.
The OP508 is offered with either InGaAs or Silicon detector and fixed
optical interface for FC, SC or ST. (other detector options and interface
options upon request)
The OP510 is a high
precision optical power meter module powered by the USB. The 16 position
dual-color bar graph indicates the power level being measured. In relative
mode the bar graph quickly shows the level of loss with a selectable
resolution of up to 0.1dB. Various detector options and optical interfaces
are available including the 5/8" adapter system. In addition the OP510
offers all the features of the OP508.
This W98/2k/XP compatible
application connects to the OP508 and OP510 modules via USB. All basic
optical power meter functions are implemented in addition to some unique
features such as data logging, data storage and temperature measurement into
a spreadsheet.
The OPL5 is free with
the purchase of any OP500 modules. The professional version OPL5-Pro
offers extended data logging, graphing features and a Component Test
Solution.
OP250
Series Light Sources
The
OP250
is a configurable stabilized light source
with a variety of Lasers and
LEDs. Available in a
single port or
dual port configuration, selectable wavelengths, and various power
levels and industry standard optical interfaces this instrument offers all
the features and functions necessary for the development, testing and
inspecting of optical components and cables.
For measuring insertion loss and return loss accurately and repeatedly the
reference connector needs to outperform the connector under test. Reference
cables from OptoTest are manufactured and certified to an appropriate high
standard meeting and exceeding FOTP171A (A2.2.1).
