Insertion Loss and Link Loss Testing
The 555B 1mm InGaAs optical power meter is a
rugged high quality general purpose instrument suitable for many fiber optic measurement applications.
Paired with a RIFOCS 250 Series LED source or 260
Series laser source, the 555B optical power meter is
ideal for insertion loss testing of multimode and single-mode fiber optic cables and connectors.The 555B
optical power meter can also be used for link loss
testing of installed cable plants.
The multi-wavelength reference storage capability of
the 555B optical power meter permits convenient
insertion and link loss testing at different transmission
windows if a 252A/252B dual LED source or 262A
dual laser source is used.
Output Power Measurements
The 555B optical power meter simplifies output power
measurements of transmitters and other light
sources. The four calibration wavelengths, InGaAs
photodetector, and wide dynamic range make the
555B optical power meter suitable for measuring the
output of both LED and laser based transmitters.
In addition, a broad range of Snap-On Connector
(SOC) adapters for both industry standard fiber optic
connectors, and many less common types, makes the
555B an indispensible tool for technicians and others
working with light-based transmission systems.
