AFC has announce the release of the JDSU SmartClassTM Fibre OLS-85 handheld light source

The OLS-85 handheld light source is a professional, versatile and compact instrument used for fibre-optic network qualification and certification. Specific wavelength combinations make it optimised for link loss testing and long-haul, metro and access telecommunication network characterization, as well as data centre and local area network testing.

“The OLS-85 light source is the perfect partner for JDSU’s OLP-85 series power meters.  Adding the P5000i video inspection microscope to the OLS-85 lets users check fibre end-face quality and get fully automatic IEC based pass/fail acceptance results at the push of button.” says Michael Scarano, Senior Product Manager at AFC Group.

“The OLS-85 is the ideal light source for insertion loss testing particular where connector inspection results require storage and reporting, something more and more end users are mandating” added Scarano.

The OLS-85 inspection-ready optical light source can be used anywhere today’s fibre technicians go, up poles or down holes.
