Insertion Loss and Link Loss Testing
Paired with a RIFOCS 555B or 557B optical power
meter, the 255A serves as an ideal 1300nm LED
source for testing the insertion loss of multimode and
single-mode fiber optic cables and connectors. The
255A can also be used with an optical power meter
for link loss testing of installed cable plants.
With a calibrated launch optimized for 62.5/125µm
graded-index multimode fiber, the 255A LED source
is particularly useful for testing and maintaining local
area networks (LANs), premises networks, fiber dis-
tributed data interfaces (FDDI), and some telecom-
munications systems. The 255A may also be used for
other multimode and single-mode fiber types.
The 255A LED source is fitted with a precision
Universal Connector Interface (UCI), which ensures
maximum accuracy and repeatability when perform-
ing critical measurements on fiber optic systems. A
comprehensive range of UCI adapters is available for
all industry standard fiber optic connectors.
In addition, controlled launch condition versions of the
255A are available to meet the demanding require-
ments of military, aerospace, shipboard, and trans-
portation applications. Call RIFOCS Corp., or your
local RIFOCS representative for more information.
