Optical Loss Test Sets

An optical loss test set (or OLTS for short) conveniently combines a number of normally separate optical testing functions into one device, most notably a light source and an optical power meter. An OLTS allows a technician to fully test optical signals and locate faults in optical network systems. Some OLTSs can also be configured to perform optical return loss or back reflection testing thus adding to their functionality.

The danger of optical loss is that as the amount of loss grows, so grows the degrading of the transmitted signal. Excessive optical loss can potentially bring down a fiber based network.

Some of the most prominent producers of high quality optical loss test sets are JDSU, Noyes, EXFO, Agilent and Fluke Networks with their SimpliFiber line of optical network testers. All of these companies have earned a great deal of respect from the telecom and datacom industries as they consistently produce equipment of the highest caliber. No matter which company you choose to provide your optical loss measurement solutions you can be absolutely certain that you're getting some of the best equipment on the market.
