OLTS 5

OLTS 5 Optical Loss Test Set

The OLTS 5 Optical Loss Test Set series offers end-to-end single-mode testing at either 1310/1550 nm or 1550/1625 nm. The OLTS 5 may be operated in automatic or manual test modes. In its “two-unit” automatic test mode, a pair of OLTS 5 test sets may be used to measure the end-to-end, bi-directional insertion loss of a pair of single-mode fibers at 1310/1550 nm or 1550/1625 nm. Tests are started and controlled by the user from the OLTS 5 configured as the Main unit. Test progress messages and results are displayed on the Remote unit. Full test results can be reviewed and saved in the Main unit. Thresholds may be set to provide Pass/Fail results. In its “single-unit” automatic test mode the OLTS

5 can measure bi-directional, dual-wavelength insertion loss of patch cords, or fiber optic cables while they are still on the reel. In the manual operating mode individual OLTS 5 test sets can operate either as an optical power meter (OPM) or dual-wavelength laser source. The OLTS 5 can store dual-wavelength, bi-directional insertion loss results for up to 1,000 fibers. Test results can be organized in up to 20 user-named files. Results are transferred to a PC via a serial link. Windows® software is provided to view, edit, and print test results. OLTS 5 units are sold individually but normally used in pairs.
