The EXFO FLS-130A is a stable laser light source purpose-built for insertion loss and continuity testing in singlemode fiber optic networks. It delivers high optical stability across standard telecommunication wavelengths and supports both single- and dual-wavelength configurations. The instrument generates continuous wave (CW) signals for power and loss measurements, plus 2 kHz modulation for fiber identification—essential capabilities for field installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of fiber optic systems.
Technical Specifications
Wavelengths: Available in single-wavelength (850 nm, 1300 nm, 1550 nm) and dual-wavelength configurations (850/1300 nm, 1310/1550 nm).
Output Signal: Continuous Wave (CW) for power and loss measurements; 2 kHz signal generation for fiber identification.
Optical Stability: High optical stability with ± 1 °C temperature stability specified for typical performance.
Port Configuration: Single or dual port options supporting single- or dual-wavelength operation.
– Key Features
• Universal Interface connectors on most models; accessory connectors (SC, ST, FC) available with select units
• Dual power options: 9 V battery with minimum 7-hour continuous runtime, or AC adapter
• 10-minute auto-off timer to extend battery life
• Compact field-portable design suitable for laboratory and on-site deployment
– Typical Applications
Insertion loss and continuity verification in singlemode fiber networks; fiber identification and tracing; acceptance testing and maintenance of installed fiber infrastructure.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for integration with EXFO test systems and compatible with standard single-mode fiber connectors. Models with SC/PC interfaces (such as FLS-135A-54) support direct connection to common network components.
