Choose from Basic or Deluxe models for data
center testing all the way to long-haul runs.
»
Auto wavelength recognition and adjustable
power on the Deluxe models save you valuable
testing time.
»
Operate in continuous wave (CW) or modulated
mode.
»
Feature three output frequencies: 270 Hz,
1 kHz, and 2 kHz.
»
Lightweight and easy to carry.
»
Use with our Fiber Optic Power Meters
to measure optical loss.
