Fiber Optic Test Meters • Introduction 3
Typical Applications
The fiber optic test kit offers these typical applications:
FPM 101 Power Meter:
• High power model for CATV and Telco
• Enterprise/LAN for singlemode and multimode measurements
• Passive optical networks (PON) testing
• LAN/WAN multimode or singlemode networks
FLS 101 Light Source:
• Certify multimode and singlemode links per TIA/EIA standards
• Certify multimode fiber links for Gigabit Ethernet (GBE)
• Test Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks
• Fiber identification before splicing
Accessories
Fiber optic test reference cables are required to connect the instruments to the fiber optic
system, cable, or network under test. A test reference cable must have the same core and
cladding size as the fiber under test. The connector at one end of the test reference cable
must mate with the optical port on each instrument. The connector on the other end must
mate with the fiber optic system under test.
LC connector adapter caps are provided for the FPM 101 and FLS 101 optical ports. One pair
of singlemode and one pair of multimode reference cables with LC connectors on each end
are also provided.
NOTE: Optical ports and connector end faces must be kept free from dirt or other
contaminates to ensure accurate measurements and operation.
• For cleaning connector end faces on the FLS 101 light source, test reference
cables, and in fiber frames or adapters, use optical quality cleaning fluid.
• For cleaning the FPM/FLS 101 optical ports and adapter caps, use lint-free
optical cleaning wipes with optical quality cleaning fluid and a can of filtered
compressed air.
