Fibre Optic Testers Ease of use and cost-effectiveness Trend s Family of Optical Products Has Increased The new products include Optical Power Meters, Attenuators and Multimeters which are simpler and far lower in cost than the Premium versions hitherto supplied, new Laser Sources, Fibre Identifiers and Fault Locators, and a PON Power Meter. The Fibre Identifier is an essential installation and tool used to identify power and traffic direction in jacketed or bare fibre without service interruption. The clamp design allows the tester to detect light in the fibre without damage or disconnection and with low bending loss. The Visual Fault Locator is used for the location of faults in single-mode and multi-mode fibres using light in the visible spectrum to reveal bad connections, fibre breaks and excessive bending in jacketed or bare fibre. The Optical Light Sources are simple to use transmitters that can be used in conjunction with other types of test equipment, such as power meters and fibre identifiers, to test fibre optic cables. There are three types in the range to cater for up to four different wavelengths, on Single Mode and Multimode fibre. The Optical Power Meter is a simple to use instrument that can be used to measure the output power from optical equipment or, in conjunction with other types of test equipment, such as laser sources, to test fibre optic cables. The Optical Multimeter combines the functions of a Laser Source and a Power Meter into a single simple to use instrument used to test fibre optic cables and equipment. The PON Power Meter is an optical power meter optimized for use in Passive Optical Networks (PONs), increasingly used to implement point-to-multipoint Fibre to The Premises (FTTx) installations.

Fibre Identifier Essential installation and tool The Fibre Identifier is an essential installation and tool used to identify power and traffic direction in jacketed or bare fibre without service interruption. The clamp design allows the tester to detect light in the fibre without damage or disconnection and with low bending loss. It has a rugged design with a set of adaptors for 0.25 mm bare fibre, 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm for jacketed fibre as standard. By inserting the fibre into the adaptor head and closing the jaws of the identifier around the fibre, the optical power inside the fibre can be detected. When used in conjunction with a Laser Source capable of modulating the light at a selection of frequencies, errors of fibre identification can be eliminated. Efficiently identifies the power without damage to the fibres Displays the core power in the fibres Low bending loss and highly efficient output Detects traffic direction Detects modulation frequency Easy-to-replace adaptors to match various optical cables Mechanical clamp design of adaptor heads to ensure close fit to the fibre without leakage loss One-button operation closing the clamp switches the tester on and the measurements are automatically displayed CATV optical installations Optical test laboratories SDH, SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, CATV, PON / FTTx, Opt LAN CWDM / DWDM and out of band Detector type: 1 mm InGaAs (x2) Wavelength range: 8000 to 1700 nm Power reading: 0 to -50 dbm Modulation detection: 270 Hz, 1 khz, 2 khz Adaptors: 0.25 mm bare fibre, 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm Signal direction: left/right Power supply: one 9 volt Alkaline battery (included) Operating Temperature: +60 C to -10 C Storage Temperature: +70 C to -25 C Dimensions: 195 mm x 30 mm x 27 mm Weight: 235g Standard Package Optional Accessories: Tester Set of adaptors Carry case Battery None www.trendcomms.com Tel: +44 1628 503500
Visual Fault Locator for single-mode and multi-mode fibre Used for the location of faults in single-mode and multi-mode fibres using light in the visible spectrum to reveal bad connections, fibre breaks and excessive bending in jacketed or bare fibre. It has a rugged design and a universal connector to accommodate any 2.5 mm connector ferrule. When the Fault Locator is connected to the end of a fibre and the light is switched on, the end of the fibre can easily be identified by the visible red light. Any light leakage from the fibre, due to breaks, bad connections or bending, is clearly revealed by the escape of light. Modulation (flashing) of the light can be switched on or off to eliminate errors of fibre identification. Detects breaks and micro-bending even through jacketed fibre End-to-end visual fibre identification Locates faults up to 5 km along the fibre Compact and durable design for field use Standard Package Tester Carry case Battery CATV optical installationsations Optical test laboratories SDH, SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, CATV, PON / FTTx, Opt LAN CWDM / DWDM and out of band Optional Accessories FC/LC adaptor Wavelength: 650 nm (red light) Fibre type: Single Mode, Multimode Power output 1 mw Range: up to 5 km depending on fibre conditions Modulation: continuousus or 2 3 Hz flashing light.

Optical Light Source Easy-to-use transmitter The Optical Light Sources are simple to use transmitters that can be used in conjunction with other types of test equipment, such as power meters and fibre identifiers, to test fibre optic cables. There are three types in the range to cater for up to four different wavelengths, on Single Mode and Multimode fibre. By transmitting light at a known power level at one end of a fibre with an Optical Light Source, and measuring the power at the other end with a power meter, the Attenuation (loss) of the cable can be calculated. When used in conjunction with a compatible Fibre Identifier capable of detecting the modulation frequency of the transmitted light, errors of fibre identification can be eliminated. Output power quoted is typical, and depends on the arrangement of the connectors and patch cords used. For accurate loss measurement the output power of the Light Source should be calibrated before use in the intended cable configuration using a power meter. The wavelength and the modulation are simply selected by dedicated push buttons on the front panel of the tester. A set of adaptors for SC/ST and FC cables is supplied as standard. A optional adaptor for LC connectors is available.

PON Power Meter Optimized for Passive Optical Networks The PON Power Meter is an optical power meter optimized for use in Passive Optical Networks (PONs), increasingly used to implement point-to-multipoint Fibre to The Premises (FTTx) installations. The PON Power Meter is calibrated at the three wavelengths used for the upstream and downstream PON voice, video and data traffic, and can measure the power levels at all three wavelengths simultaneously. The user can preset pass/fail thresholds for each wavelength to indicate automatic power level verification on coloured LEDs. It can be connected in through mode to allow the service to pass uninterrupted while the tester measures the power in each of the channels. In this configuration it can support measurement of Burst-mode in the upstream channel. Settings are made using simple menus with navigation push buttons on the front panel of the tester. The outstanding features of this tool include a large memory to store results, and external PC software for results analysis and calibration connected via USB. The standard SC connector used in PON installations is provided for both the OLT (Optical Line Terminal)/Video and ONT (Optical Network Terminal) ports.

Optical Multimeter Laser Source and Power Meter in one single test set The Optical Multimeter combines the functions of a Laser Source and a Power Meter into a single simple to use instrument used to test fibre optic cables and equipment. By transmitting light at a known power level at one end of a fibre with the built-in laser source, or an independent Optical Light Source, and measuring the power at the other end with the built-in power meter, the Attenuation (loss) of the cable can be calculated. The power meter can also be used to measure the output power from optical equipment. The power meter is calibrated at a large number of wavelengths to enable power measurements to be made on a wide range of Single Mode and Multimode fibre optic cable systems. The light output from the source can be modulated and the modulation frequency can be detected by the meter, enabling errors of fibre identification to be eliminated. Output power quoted is typical, and depends on the arrangement of the connectors and patch cords used. For accurate loss measurement the instrument can be used in relative mode, eliminating errors due to the output power uncertainty and the patch cords. Settings are made using simple menus with navigation push buttons on the front panel of the tester.
