What's special about this fiber test kit?
The Kingfisher Basic LAN Testing Small FiberTester Kit is an ideal for testing out and validating Multimode networks. The KI-3812B LED light source and the KI-3600B-Ge Power Meter pack a powerful punch for measuring and tracing multimode fiber optic lines. The Autotest optical loss test is as simple as plugging the source in on one side, the power meter in on the other, and hitting "Autotest" on the light source. |
The KI-3600B-Ge meter will set itself to the correct wavelength and display absolute power in dB. With replaceable non-metallic connector adapters, the Kingfisher line of Fiber Optic testers can fit any fiber connector cleanly and safely, without leaving any damaging oils or metal fleck residue.
Kingfisher takes pride in their equipment being rugged. The KI-TK012 Kit comes with a carrying case constructed of durable molded urethane foam, splash-resistant cloth with zipper, and carry strap. All units and adaptors are drop tested up to a meter high to withstand accidental drops while on a jobsite.
- Save time and money with a 3 year re-calibration cycle, no range changing delays, and 1,200 hour battery life with the KI-3600B Power Meter and 600 hour battery life on the KI-3812B Light Source
- Optical power measurement from -70 to +10 dBm, traceable calibrations at 9 wavelengths
- Optical loss testing on multimode fiber 850 / 1300 nm with a range of 42 / 47 dB
- Ge (Germanium) Optical Power Meters are the most economical type of power meter, and provide high accuracy without warming up
- MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 - can be routinely used in rugged operational environments with an unprotected, uncontrolled climate. Kingfisher testers have passed multiple 1 meter drop tests onto cement
