OLS Series Light Sources AFL is a trusted supplier of optical testing equipment with more than 30 years of experience and tens of thousands of units in use in the field. AFL’s full range of light sources are used for testing single-mode and/or multimode fibre networks. Sources with wave ID can transmit two or more wavelengths simultaneously – decreasing test time and reducing user errors when paired with AFL wave ID power meters. Designed for the real world: AFL’s light sources were designed to meet the demands of the outside plant environment. They withstand the one-meter drop and have splash resistant controls that are easy to use, even with gloves on. Flexible and efficient: A range of field-swappable output adapters enables access for cleaning optical ports and supports multiple connector styles. The efficient design provides long test time from globally available AA batteries. External power adapter available for extended testing or lab situations. Reduce test time and errors: Wave ID (Triple, Dual, or Single) decreases test time while reducing technician errors and CW mode provides continuous output (no encoding). Supported output modes: Test Tone (2000, 1000, 330, 270 Hz) for use in fibre identification with AFL brand power meters, OTDRs (with fibre end access) or Optical Fibre Identifier (OFI) products for non-intrusive, mid-span testing. Features • Rugged, dependable, and backed by industry-best 5-year Warranty • Generates up to three Wave ID wavelengths simultaneously - slashing test time • Field-swappable connector adapters for maximum flexibility • Long battery life from globally available AA batteries Applications • Certify multimode and single-mode links per TIA/EIA standards • Link loss measurements • Pair with power meters, OTDRs or OFIs for testing • Fibre identification for splicing and continuity checking OLS7 Optical Laser Source

NOYES OLS1 from AFL is two port multimode LED source for testing multimode fibre links. Packaged in a rugged hand-held case The OLS1 is designed for technicians on the go. The LED output is stabilised to ensure accurate test results per current TIA/EIA requirements.
Low Training Requirements: The OLS1 is easy to operate with only a [Wavelength/ Power] switch, which selects optical wavelengths or disables unit.
LED indicators [Active Output], [Battery], and [External Power] identify the currently enabled output port, battery level, and external power presence.
Weighing only 0.65 lb, the OLS1 is compact and convenient for field use. The OLS1 from AFL operates over 60 hours from a typical 9V alkaline battery. An AC adapter is optional for extended use.
50 and 62.5 µm fibre mandrels Included
Mandrels condition test cable for use in certifying both 50 and 62.5 µm fibre links for current and planned high bit rate applications including Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Mandrels apply to launch jumpers is seconds without tools and ensure loss measurements comply with TIA/EIA-568-B standard.
The OLS 1 light source is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
