Applications

The Dual OWL 850 is a cost effective, compact, handheld light source. The temperature compensated outputs are calibrated to couple -20dBm of optical power into multimode fiber. The light source comes installed with an 850nm LED source. The source has an intuitive two-button interface - one button for turning the unit ON or OFF and the other for wavelength selection. LED indicators highlight the selected source and verify that battery power is sufficient to maintain the calibrated output power.

Dual OWL series fiber optic light sources offer exceptional value at an economical price. These LED-based sources provide the fiber optic installer with a stable output when testing multimode fiber optic runs. The Dual OWL 850 offers the fiber optic professional with a simple, yet affordable, option for testing multimode fiber links at 850nm, and can be easily upgraded to include a 1300nm source.

High intensity LEDs such as the ones in Dual OWL light sources produce intense beams of infrared energy that are invisible to the eye.

Exposure to such energy can cause serious retina damage, and prolonged exposure can cause blindness.

NEVER LOOK INTO A LIGHT SOURCE OR THE END OF A FIBER THAT MAYBE ENERGIZED BYASOURCE!
