CATV Industry Applications

Analog CATV applications commonly operate at 1310 / 1550 nm with relatively high optical power levels, may require low levels of back reflection, and require careful adjustment of attenuator pads to optimize receiver operation. All of our instruments offer power measurement options up to +27 dBm.

For measuring signal levels, Optical power meters are available with a variety of suitable high power detector options. Some of these can be used with KITS™ reporting software.
For basic cable acceptance, continuity testing or optical power measurements, we have a simple Source & Power meter. These incorporate automation to make them easy to use, and have many other useful features such as traceable calibration, interchangeable connectors, very long battery life and more, at an affordable price.
Alternatively Basic Loss Test Sets performs a similar function to a source and meter, but with less equipment inventory. These are available with up to 4 CWDM lasers, and come with KITS™ reporting software.
Measure cable loss much faster and more easily with a Two Way Loss Test Set + ORL. This is the preferred solution when labor cost or skill is a major consideration. Integrated Optical Return Loss measurement requires no extra test effort. These come with KITS™ reporting software, and can also be used for basic continuity testing, or as a precision power meter.
For setting attenuator pads and performing margin testing, our Automated Attenuator comes with free external control software. High end specifications highly suitable for this application include accurate port-to-port insertion loss calibration, high power handling, low ORL, low wavelength dependency and ease of use.
For general fiber identification, continuity testing and fault finding we have excellent Visible fault locators and Clip on Identifiers.
For high capacity systems, we offer advanced DWDM &CWDM Source, Meter & LTS options.
To ensure that optical connectors are clean and in good condition, everyone should have a connector inspection microscope.
To accurately pinpoint optical cable faults, the Cold Clamp is a unique solution.

Instruments feature interchangeable connector adaptors for all modern 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm ferrule connectors including SC, LC, FC, MU, ST, LSA, E2000, LX5, F3000, SMA, and universal connectors.

All KI 7000 and KI 3000 instruments feature Autotest compatibility, so your entire inventory of handheld instruments can have compatible automation features for all field staff.

Kingfisher's Optical Calibration Laboratory offers the highest level of calibration traceability in the industry. This is typically an important issue to give your customers the highest confidence in your products and services.
