Fiber Optic T est Meters • Operation 9 FLS 101 Light Sour ce — Controls and Connections The FLS 101 light source can test fiber optic links by generating the pr oper wavelength light for the link under test. The light source can generate multimode 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths, or singlemode 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. For each mode, (SM [...]

Fiber Optic T est Meters • Operation 10 Output Ports and Indicators The optical output ports requir e adapter caps for connection to fiber optic links and refer ence cables. The FLS 101 includes two LC adapter caps. e MM output port — LED source multimode optical output. f SM output port — Laser source singlemode optical output. g Active outp[...]

Fiber Optic T est Meters • Operation 11 Measuring Optical Power CAUTION: It is important to keep all optical connections and surfaces free fr om dirt, oils, or other contaminants to ensure pr oper operation. Always clean all test refer ence cables before conducting the test pr ocedures outlined in this guide. See “Cleaning Optical Ports” on p[...]

Fiber Optic T est Meters • Operation 12 T esting Fiber Optic Links Multimode or singlemode links are easily measur ed using the FPM 101 power meter and FLS 101 light source. T wo reference cables, transmit and r eceive, are requir ed. Before an unknown fiber link can be measured, the insertion loss of the two r eference cables must first be verif[...]

Fiber Optic T est Meters • Operation 13 7. The normal range is -20 dBm for multimode cables, 0 dBm for singlemode, (± 1dB). NOTE: Output power for multimode cables is approximately 3 dB less when a 50 μm mandrel wrapped r eference cable is used, or if the tone featur e is activated. If the measured output power is outside the normal range, or t[...]
