Insertion Loss and Link Loss Testing
The 578L benchtop optical power meter is a versatile instrument designed to meet the needs of customers conducting fiber optic insertion loss tests and measurements in manufacturing or laboratory settings.
With a measurement range from +25 to -50dBm , the 578L is ideal for performing measurements on CATV systems, optical amplifiers, and other high power sources. The 578L features 980nm, 1310nm, and 1550nm calibration wavelengths.
The 578L prints customized labels containing measurement, date, and time information when connected to a parallel or serial printer. Up to seven different label formats can be stored in non-volatile memory for later use.
A built-in serial port allows the 578L to be controlled remotely from a computer, enabling the automation of complex or repetitive measurements. LabView and LabWindows drivers for the instrument are available from Tempo-Camarillo. Up to 16 578L optical power meters can be “daisy chained” via an integral IC interface to make a multi-channel test system controlled by a designated “reference unit.” |
