Optical Light Source
A fiber optic source is commonly used with a meter to measure optical fiber attenuation or insertion loss. A handheld light source can also be used as a tone generator for use with a clip on identifier, or test tone detector. All Kingfisher optical sources are coloured yellow for easy identification, are compliant with IEC825 1 and 21CFR1040.10 Laser LED Safety, and have a 3 year warranty & calibration cycle. Alternatively, some users may prefer an integrated LTS (Loss Test Set), or a simple LTS. LED / Laser source options are available for most optical fiberoptic applications. Our multimode LED sources feature improved repeatability and standards compliance and come with a mandrel wrap to improve modal distribution. Also available in convenient Test Kits. Alternatively see Fault Locators.
All Kingfisher light sources offer superior stability in practical use. When a test lead is repeatedly re-connected,
the coupled power varies by < 0.1 dB.
