Couple growing network demands with the still higher power levels being measured in research labs: It quickly becomes evident that the ability to measure this greater power will be essential.

EXFO is introducing another industry first in the FOT-90A Power Meter. Directly measure the absolute power of high-output fibers in the field with its Ultra-High Power™ capabilities. Accurately measure signals with power levels as high as 35 dBm without neglecting those at the lower end of the dBm range. The FOT-90A Ultra-High Power™ option accurately measures signals as low as —43 dBm, making it the complete solution for advanced networks.

EXFO FLS-210A Light Source

The FLS-210A is a high-performance light source that contains LED or laser sources with variable power output levels from 0 dB to 5 dB and from 0 dB to 10 dB, respectively. Combine the FLS-210A with the FOT-90A fiber-optic power meter to measure power and loss in singlemode and multimode fibers. The FLS-210A is the only source in its class capable of performing both manual and automatic tests when combined with a compatible power meter.

Key Features

• FasTesT-compatible
• Three-way powering
• Automatic mode for streamlined documentation

FasTesT-Compatible
FasTesT automatically performs a single- or dual-wavelength loss test at the touch of a button. Perform automated attenuation measurements by referencing the FOT-90A Power Meter and FLS-210A Variable Light Source, then simply press the FasTesT button on the FLS-210A. The compatible power meter at the other end will automatically acquire and store readings. The result is efficient data acquisition at a reduced risk of error.

Dual-Wavelength Selection
The FLS-210A is available in single- (1300 nm, 1550 nm) or dual-wavelength (850/1300 nm, 1310/1550 nm) configurations. Dual-wavelength models toggle between sources and use the same output connector for maximum efficiency and accuracy. For applications requiring stable sources, select the cooled laser option.

If you’re looking to Sell EXFO FLS-235P Pocket Pal Visual Fault Locator

EXFO FLS-235 Pocket Pal Visual Fault Locator
The Pocket Pal is EXFO’s easiest way to perform end-to-end fiber identification or to pinpoint breaks, macrobends, faulty connectors or splices, and other causes of signal loss, up to a distance of 5km. Compatible with singlemode and multimode fibers, this convenient loss finder emits bright red light at the exact location of the fault, often visible even through the orange or yellow jacket of a single fiber cable.

Thanks to its small size, light weight, and simple but proven design, the Pocket Pal can accompany you anywhere. In your pocket or in the supplied belt pouch, carry your FLS-235 along to the most demanding environment. To ensure ruggedness, it features rubber seals, fully enclosed laser head, and long-lasting mechanical switch which has been tested to provide a minimum of 100,000 operations without failure of apparent wear. The Pocket Pal has also been designed to withstand an accidental drop of 1 m (3 ft).

The standard Pocket Pal is equipped with a 635-nm source. Due to the spectral sensitivity of the human eye, this wavelength is about seven times more visible than a 670-nm wavelength. On the other hand, the 635-nm signal is attenuated almost twice as fast in a fiber. That is why you can also purchase a junior version of the Pocket Pal with a 670-nm source.

The choice of a particular version of the Pocket Pal depends on the distance range at which the unit will be most frequently used. The 635-nm version is more visible than the 670-nm version for a short distance but becomes less visible after a certain distance. For example, in an undamaged sinlgemode fiber, the estimated distance at which a 670-nm source becomes more visible than a 635-nm source is 1.76 km (about 1.1 mi).

Buying, Selling, Trading EXFO FLS-235P

The Pocket Pal features either a 2-Hz pulsed source (FLS-235P) or a continuous wave (CW) source (FLS-235C).
