2. LAN/WAN certification
Description
Part of EXFO’s 600 handheld series, the FLS-600 Light Source is designed for first-class versatility. Choose among laser, LED models, as well as various wavelength options. What’s more, you can save time by building a list of your “favorite” wavelengths and only sweeping through these wavelengths when testing.
Automatic wavelength switching
Using the FLS-600 in Auto-Switching Mode allows to automatically toggle between available wavelengths. When using this source with a compatible power meter (Optical Power Expert/FOT-600), the latter recognizes the wavelength in use and switches to the proper calibration parameter.
Distant referencing
Signal encrypting can also give the receiving-end information on the power to be used as reference, helping ensure efficient referencing, even when the two units are far apart.
FTTx-ready
EXFO’s FLS-600 allows for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at 1310 nm, 1490 nm and 1550 nm, the three wavelengths recommended by the ITU-T (G.983.3) for PONs.
Rugged and versatile
Like all EXFO portable instruments, the FLS-600 is built for ruggedness, perfect for the harshest test conditions. It also features a backlit keypad/LCD , for easy operation in darker environments.
OPTICAL LOSS KITS
The Optical Power Expert PRO optical power meter combined with the FLS-600 light source is designed for optimal efficiency during link loss characterization while offering low cost of ownership through its
ruggedness, three-year warranty and recommended calibration interval.
The power meter comes with best-in-class performance, a wide color touchscreen and an intuitive graphical user interface. Pocket-sized and rugged (IP54 design for water and dust protection), the device is made for extensive use in the field. It has a high capacity data storage for test results.
The FLS-600 light source brings optimal versatility. Laser or LED models and various wavelength options are available. A list of “favorite” wavelengths can be customized for faster testing.
AUTOMATED TESTING = ERROR‑FREE TESTING
In combination with the FLS-600 light source in auto-switching mode, the power meter automatically recognizes the wavelength in use and switches to the proper calibration parameter. Results for all wavelengths can be stored at once, by pressing one button.
FIBER TRACING
The Optical Power Expert can detect four different tones emitted from the FLS‑600 light source: 270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
When it comes to fiber tracing, the Optical Power Expert with its PRO configuration includes a visual fault locator that emits light in three different modes (continuous, slow blink and fast blink) to trace fibers and identify breaks and macrobends.
In a FTTH use case example, a technician can use the VFL in continuous mode to identify the port and make the cross-connect. Thereafter connecting the FLS-600 for power loss measurement.
a. Guaranteed unless otherwise specified. All specifications valid at 23 °C ± 1 °C, with an FC connector.
b. rms for FP lasers; and –3 dB width for LEDs (typical values for LEDs).
c. After a 15‑minute warm‑up period, and using an APC connector on the power meter (except for multimode sources, for which a PC connector is used).
Expressed as ± half the difference between the maximum and minimum values measured during the period.
