The Fiber OWL4 BOLT test kit provides installers the tools necessary for certifying fibre-optic links against popular cabling standards in singlemode and multimode networks. The Fiber OWL4 BOLT optical power meter is singlemode and multimode ready and contains a user-friendly fibre link wizard that performs link budget calculations (including integrated fibre link length testing) and sets a reference value using the characteristics of the link. This reference is the pass/fail threshold and is calculated against the chosen standard.
Up to 1000 fibre runs (max of 8 individual cables) may be stored and then downloaded to a PC for report generation using the supplied OWL reporter software. It also includes intelligent automated testing functions, such as automatic dual-wavelength storage and auto-wavelength recognition, all helping to reduce testing time and human error.
The high-accuracy, high-resolution, microprocessor-controlled optical power meter comes with a handheld case made from high-impact plastic; a large, backlit, graphic, liquid crystal display; and 18-key keypad for easy data entry. The universal port accepts 2.5 mm connectors, such as ST, SC and FC, and also comes with a 1.25 mm universal port, which can accept LC, MU and other SFF connectors. It is designed to operate for over 100 h on a standard alkaline 9 V battery and has built-in auto shutdown. A length testing light source comes standard for fibre-optic link length measurements.
