The Fiber OWL 7X is a high accuracy, high resolution, microprocessor controlled optical power meter. The detector port has a 75dB dynamic range making it ideal for a wide array of fiber optic testing applications, including standards-based fiber link certification (when used with separate light sources; sold separately). The unit is housed in an attractive handheld case made from high impact plastic surrounded by a protective rubber boot, includes a high-resolution color LCD display, and an intuitive keypad for convenient data entry. The universal detector port includes two adapter caps: one for 2.5mm ferrule connectors, such as SC, ST, and FC; and one for 1.25mm ferrule connectors such as LC and MDC. The unit will operate up to 50 hours on its high-capacity Lithium Polymer battery, and has built-in auto shutdown. The power meter port is equipped with an auto-wavelength recognition feature called AUTO MODE that automatically switches the wavelength being received from compatible OWL dualwavelength, auto-testing light sources, such as OWL WaveSource Pro series light sources (sold separately). The detector senses the auto-switching signal from the WaveSource Pro light source, then automatically switches to that wavelength accordingly. This feature allows for simultaneous dual-wavelength optical referencing and power/loss testing, which increases productivity by decreasing testing time and human error.
