Description

EXFO’s OSICS BKR variable back reflector emulates reflectance from all optical interfaces within fiber optic systems. It is the perfect R&D tool for testing the effects of back reflection on transponder prototypes and stressing transmitters and receivers in PON/WDM systems

Broad reflection range

The OSICS BKR features a variable reflector that can be set from 3 to 55 dB and operates throughout a large wavelength range. Its broad reflection range lets you cover any setup with a single instrument.

Easy real-time operation

Adjust or read reflectance in real time, anytime, on the user-friendly front-panel display.

Added features

EXFO’s OSICS modules are stacked with great features, including remote commands, high-performance tunable laser sources, optical switches, and the ability to host up to eight modules.
