Common features All OLP-85 series power meters can connect to single mode and multimode fibers (9/125 µm, 50/125 µm, and 62.5/125 µm). Tests on systems from different manufacturers with different connector types are easy to handle due to the universal adapter system.
Connector type The connection is made with an universal push pull (UPP) adapter for all 2.5 mm connectors (UPP adapter for 1.25 mm ferrules are also available). The OLP-85 works with a .../PC and .../ APC connector as well. Powermeter mode Both modulated and unmodulated light signals can be measured.
This safety instruction is given if the danger is due to laser radiation. Information specifying the laser class is also given. Warning format All warnings have the following format: WARNING Type and source of danger Consequences of ignoring the warning. ► Action needed to avoid danger. OLP-85...
