Equipment

Tier 1: Test Equipment for simplex and duplex connectors

In one hook-up, these instruments perform length & bi-directional pass/fail loss testing at two wavelengths. So, a fiber tested with these instruments can be used anywhere in a related network. They are also equipped with an optical power meter, VFL, and tone source / detection, so can perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing.

Tier 1: Test Equipment for MPO connectors

These test kits perform single-directional loss testing at two wavelengths. They are equipped with an optical power meter, and tone source / detection, so can also perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing. Instruments can also be supplied individually. Length may need to be determined by some other method, e.g., by OTDR, cable inspection etc. For many short MPO links, length testing may not be useful / needed.

  • KI-TK071A MPO 850 / 1300 & 1310 / 1550 nm test, inspect & clean kit
  • KI-TK035 MPO 850 / 1300 & 1310 / 1550 nm test, inspect & clean kit
  • KI-TK034 MPO 1310 / 1550 nm test, inspect & clean kit
  • KI-TK033 MPO 850 / 1300 nm test, inspect & clean kit

These test kits quickly perform polarity and continuity testing.

Tier 1 MPO Loss Test Procedures

MPO connectors using a light source & power meter or loss test set (requires length to be measured elsewhere):

(Tier 1) Polarity / Continuity Test Procedures

These craft procedures are specific to equipment and situations, and detailed procedures are not covered by these standards.

Procedures for eye safety are the responsibility of the organization performing relevant work, and will need to conform to current laser safety standards, particularly for visible laser fault finders.

(Tier 1) Connector Inspection Procedures

Although not formally related to this standard, the IEC/ EN 61300-3-35 standard is commonly used as a reference for this activity
Procedures for eye safety are the responsibility of the organization performing relevant work, and will need to conform to current laser safety standards, particularly for microscopes.
