The Optical Tester FOD 1208 is a versatile tool designed for the service and maintenance of optical fiber networks. It incorporates several essential components:
Key Features:
- Light Source (LS): Emits light at two common telecommunications wavelengths, 1310 nm and 1550 nm. These wavelengths are used for different types of fiber optic cables and transmission systems.
- Optical Power Meter (OPM): Measures the power level of optical signals, allowing technicians to assess signal strength and identify potential issues.
- Visual Fault Locator (VFL): Emits a visible red laser light into the fiber, enabling technicians to quickly locate faults, breaks, or bends in the fiber optic cable.
- WaveID Mode: This innovative feature simultaneously displays test results for both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths on the device's screen. This eliminates the need for separate measurements and significantly reduces the time required for testing.
Included Accessories:
- Protective Rubber Boot: Provides additional protection for the device during field use.
- Soft Carrying Case: Conveniently stores and transports the tester and its accessories.
- AC Adapter (110-240V, 50-60Hz): Enables the tester to be powered from a standard wall outlet, ensuring it can be used in various locations.
By combining these features and accessories, the FOD 1208 empowers technicians to efficiently troubleshoot and maintain fiber optic networks, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
