Fiber Optic Cable Light Source

Viavi light sources offer versatility in measuring fiber optic light continuity loss and quality in field lab and manufacturing environments.

Fiber optic cable light source.

The only difference is how the cable is optimized for light rather than data. The fibers consist of a core that transmits the light and an outer sheathing that traps the light inside the core of the fiber. Fiber optic light source is a fiber optic test equipment to measure the fiber optic loss for both single mode fiber cable and multimode fiber cables. This fiber optical light source can provide wavelength output according to the specific requirements including the 650nm red source 1310nm 1550nm wavelength for the single mode fiber and 850nm 1300nm wavelength for the multimode fiber.

Usually the fiber optic light source is used with the fiber optic power meters. Versatile and compact handheld solutions are offered for field use and ultra stable high power solutions for lab and manufacturing. Optical fibers used for lighting are similar to the fibers used in high speed communication.
