WaveTester OWL Kits

The WaveTester OWL Kits are designed for fiber optic professionals who need precise, standards-based certification of multimode and singlemode fiber optic links. These test kits support industry standards like TIA-568, ISO 11801, and Ethernet, making them essential tools for fiber optic certification and network verification. Equipped with advanced Auto-testing features, the WaveTester Kits enable the simultaneous testing of two wavelengths, significantly reducing the time required for testing fiber optic links. The integration of WaveSource fiber optic light sources ensures accurate and reliable measurements, while the Link Wizard guides the user through each step of the test, offering PASS/FAIL results and generating certification reports.

These kits also include up to 200 test result storage and the ability to download data to a PC using the supplied USB cable for later review and reporting via the OWL Reporter software. The inclusion of integrated Visual Fault Locators (VFL) in some models further enhances testing capabilities, allowing for quick identification of issues like fiber bends or breaks.

FAQ

What is the difference between multimode and singlemode fiber testing?

Multimode fiber uses light with multiple paths or modes, ideal for shorter distances and 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths. Singlemode fiber, on the other hand, uses a single path or mode of light, suitable for longer distances, with 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. The WaveTester OWL Kits support both types of fiber for comprehensive testing.

Can I test both multimode and singlemode fibers with one kit?

Yes, the WaveTester WaveSource Quad MM/SM Auto-test Kit combines both multimode and singlemode fiber testing into one kit, making it an efficient solution for networks using both types of fiber.

How do I generate certification reports?

After completing your tests, you can download the results from the WaveTester to a PC using the supplied USB cable and generate certification reports using the OWL Reporter software.

What is the role of the Visual Fault Locator (VFL)?

The VFL feature integrated into some of the kits allows you to quickly identify fiber issues like bends, breaks, or faulty connections, making troubleshooting faster and more efficient.

Are these kits suitable for new installations and retrofitting existing fiber links?

Yes, the WaveTester OWL Kits are ideal for both new fiber optic installations and retrofit projects, ensuring that all existing and newly installed fiber links meet industry standards.
