The ModCon Mode Controller From Arden Photonics

The "ModCon" from Arden Photonics has revolutionized the measurement of multimode fiber loss.

Using test equipment containing different light sources can result in variations in measured loss of up to 50%. The ModCon Modal Controller eliminates this problem by ensuring that whatever your light source, you launch the same distribution of modes into the fiber.

Every ModCon is comprehensively tested using the Arden's Modal Explorer to ensure it meets the Encircled Flux launch conditions required by IEC61280-4-1. The Modcon is available with a range of standard connectors, so simply fit it onto the output of your test equipment to get the accurate results your customers can rely on.
