The Ando AQ4215 is a 1310nm LED optical source module engineered for precision optical measurements in telecommunications and research applications. It generates a stable optical signal at 1310nm for testing and validating fiber optic systems, delivering -21 dBm or greater output across a 140nm or narrower spectral halfwidth. The module integrates into compatible Ando main frames—such as the AQ2140 Optical Multimeter—to form a complete measurement system. Its compact design supports both graded-index and single-mode fiber configurations.

– Compatibility & Integration
The AQ4215 module interfaces exclusively with compatible Ando main frames, including select AQ2140 Optical Multimeter units. Software version verification is required for certain AQ2140 models to ensure proper operation. Optical return loss measurement is not supported with this LED module. All optical interface connectors and fiber cords are purchased separately.
