Test and Inspection OLS Series Light Sources 1 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 fiber 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 (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 fiber identification with AFL brand power meters, OTDRs (with fiber end access) or Optical Fiber 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 • Fiber identification for splicing and continuity checking OLS2 Dual Optical Laser Source

Dual Wavelength Laser Source
NOYES OLS2 - Dual from AFL is a hand-held, rugged laser source designed for performing insertion loss measurements on single-mode fiber optic links when used with an optical power meter. The LASER output is stabilized to ensure accurate test results per current TIA/EIA requirements.
Equipped with industry standard 2khz test tone, the OLS2-Dual from AFL is an ideal tool to pair with an optical fiber identifier (OFI-200D) for use in fiber identification.
Single-mode output port emits 1310/1550 nm LASER output at CW, WaveID, dual wavelength WaveID, or user selectable Tone.
Faster Test Times with WaveID – In WaveID mode, the NOYES OLS2-Dual encodes each wavelength with a unique WaveID code. When used with a NOYES power meter, the pair can send and receive two wavelengths each test – doubling testing efficiency – reducing test time!
Flexible Output Connector Adapter Design – The OLS2-Dual output port is equipped with UCI based removable adapters to allow the output connectors to be inspected and cleaned, while allowing field change of output style between FC, SC, ST, and LC connector adapters.
The OLS2-Dual is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
