Fiber Solution Kit

The Graybar Storefront of Microtest, Inc. fiber optic power meter, and FiberLight, an optical light source, address the challenges of installing, maintaining and troubleshooting fiber optic LANs. The devices are designed for fiber-based Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks.

FiberEye is designed to help assess the performance of fiber optical transmission paths and equipment. It measures the power of light injected into or emerging from the fiber network. The accurate and repeatable measurement of optical power and signal loss in fiber is essential for installing, maintaining or troubleshooting fiber optics. By measuring optical power, the meter can verify the proper installation and operation of a variety of fiber optic components, such as fiber hub modules, repeaters and adapter cards. By measuring signal loss, it can help identify faulty patch cables, failing splices or bad couplers and connectors.

FiberLight can be used in conjuction with FiberEye to provide a consistent, calibrated light source that increases the ease of effectiveness of fiber optic testing, according to the company. The light source incorporates two highly efficient LEDs, each with its own external connector. One transmits at the wavelength used in Ethernet and Token Ring networks, the other, at the wavelength used in FDDI networks. With two built-in light sources, it can be used to test fiber cable plants that support all three network types more quickly than conventional light sources.
