AFL FlowScout OLS8-SM Single Mode Fiber Optic Light Source
AFL’s FlowScout OLS8 optical light source represents the next generation of smart optical light sources. Built on the legacy of AFL/Noyes OLS series optical light sources, the FlowScout OLS8 provides a stable and accurate light source for use in enterprise LAN, data center, PON, and broadband networks.
Intuitive operation: With a simple-to-use color touchscreen interface, fiber technicians can quickly set-up, test, validate, and document installed fiber plant, as well as perform troubleshooting as needed.
Wave ID for reduced test time and errors: In the Wave ID mode, the OLS8 encodes each wavelength with a unique Wave ID code. When used with a Wave ID capable power meter, such as OPM8, the pair can test up to three wavelengths simultaneously reducing test time and eliminating wavelength-setting errors. The light source also offers CW mode (continuous output - no encoding) and supports test Tone generation (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz) to assist in troubleshooting.
Flexible reporting: When used in conjunction with AFL’s FlowScout OPM8 power meter, test results may be transferred to a PC running FlexReports PC software. Illuminate your network and report in real-time using AFL’s FlowScout OLS8!
Features:
- Large color touchscreen with icon-driven user interface
- Rugged & dependable
- Wave ID generation for reduced test time and user errors
- Field-replaceable connector adapters for maximum flexibility
- AFL’s FlexReporter™ Test Results Manager integration (via OPM8)
