Description

FiberBasix handheld instruments meet your basic day-to-day test requirements while helping you stay within budget. These worry-free, straightforward solutions enable accurate measurement of signal attenuation during fiber-optic cable installation. The FiberBasix 100 series includes two highly convenient instruments:

The ELS-100 Light Source, combining up to four wavelengths and available in four specific configurations
The EPM-100 Power Meter, which offers high accuracy and referencing capabilities

An FTTx test solution

These products are part of EXFO's series of FTTx optical test products. They allow for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and comply with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 Recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard.

ELS-100 light source: multiwavelength capability

EXFO’s ELS-100 Light Source provides excellent stability and high measurement accuracy for up to three singlemode wavelengths or two multimode wavelengths. It is the perfect complement to the FiberBasix EPM-100 Power Meter when it comes to measuring attenuation on fiber-optic links.

EPM-100 Power Meter: high accuracy and easy referencing

The EPM-100 Power Meter provides highly accurate power measurements, as well as reference value setting capabilities. What’s more, this convenient unit requires no offset nulling, and it offers power autonomy of 300 hours, for reliable, long-lasting performance in the field.
