Overview
OptiConcepts FiberWarrior Insertion Loss Test Set is used for the following functions: continuity check, fiber loss, connector loss , and optional return loss for OEM, lab, and production use as well as transport, metro, access, and FTTx/PON networks. The FiberWarrior Insertion Loss Test Set performs single-mode and multimode loss measurement functions, including single component and multifiber testing. Optical return loss testing is integrated into the optional single-mode backreflection test module.
The FiberWarrior’s small, lightweight design allows for easy portability, storage, and reduced bench-top space while the aluminum enclosure and protective bumpers enhance ruggedness when used in the field. Through a simple graphical user interface, FiberWarrior becomes a window to viewing the health of your optical system by utilizing three modes of operation: Logging, Real-time, and Auto-test. Logging mode allows engineering and laboratory personnel to document loss results over time. This is especially useful when qualifying the performance of optical components when exposed to variations in temperature, humidity, stress, and other similar factors. Real-time mode provides a method of measuring component loss in a traditional manner. Real-time mode is ideal for documenting loss values at one or more wavelengths in an efficient manner. Lastly, Auto-test mode is a great tool for commissioning and documenting newly deployed fiber systems by automating repetitive steps such as changing wavelengths, then provides an ultra easy system of documenting your fiber network.
The FiberWarrior features a high-quality 8.4” TFT LCD touchscreen that allows the best possible user experience by providing an interface that is easy to view in both dark and bright environments (including sunlight) and vivid, high-contrast color to easily identify specific network elements and user controls. The centrally positioned screen fills the front of the unit while visually optimizing traces, graphs, tables, and other technical information through the carefully designed interface. The customizable touchscreen further enhances and simplifies usability by eliminating cumbersome buttons and controls. The USB and Ethernet ports instantly allow a virtually unlimited number of devices and connectivity methods to save files, network, print, and email to assist and enhance your optical testing experience.
