Many fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote (RFQ) are citing cabling standards to specify the set of guidelines (such as fiber length) that the network installer must follow during the network installation. Adherence to such standards is meant to ensure the quality of the installation and guarantee that the network will perform as it was designed

The process of testing a network installation to ensure its adherence to specified standards is called certification, and often requires hard-copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards.

The Fiber OWL 7X 850/1310 Test Kit contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in singlemode and multimode networks, commonly referred to in the industry as Tier 1 certification.

The Fiber OWL 7X (p/n: F7X) optical power meter is multimode and singlemode ready, and contains a user-friendly Fiber Link Wizard with color diagrams to guide the setup process, calculate the link budget, and set the optical reference. Up to 10000 fiber runs may be stored in internal memory, and can be downloaded to a PC for report generation with OWLView software.

The universal detector port on the F7X comes with 2 adapter caps, one for 2.5mm connectors such as SC, ST, and FC, and the other for 1.25mm connectors such as LC. The length testing port and visual fault locator port are LC.

The Dual OWL Pro 850 (p/n: DP8X) and Laser OWL Pro 1310 (p/n:LP3X) fiber optic light sources are designed for accurate testing and certification of multimode (850nm) and singlemode (1310nm) networks. The light source outputs are temperaturestabilized for accurate measurements.

These sources come configured with SC connector ports.
