Name: Kingfisher KI 9800 Series Optical Light Source
SKU: KI-9812

Compact, Consistent, and Reliable Light Source Provides Superior Measurement Confidence

KI-9812

What's special about these pocket sized fiber optic light sources?

Available in 2 wavelength models that are designed to be simple to use, these devices help to create a highly productive and stable environment for testing single mode or multimode fiber optic systems.
Superior re-connection repeatability (<0.1 dB) for consistent source stability when testing multiple fibers or retesting the same fiber.
Compact design is small enough to fit easily into a shirt pocket, while remaining rugged enough to survive a 2 meter drop onto a hard surface.

Optional connectors, including LC style, are available separately for use on a wider range of networks and fiber optic cables.

Incredibly tough construction provides moisture resistance with rubber corners and captive dust cap that can survive harsh punishment.

Connectors are metal-free to avoid contaminating the connectors in high power systems.

Up to 35 hours of use from only 2 AAA alkaline batteries, with a low battery indicator for providing reliable service in the field or in the lab.

1310nm - 1550 nm laser source provides the ideal solution for single-mode testing when combined with a compatible power meter

850 nm - 1300 nm LED source provides the ideal solution for multimode testing when combined with a KI 9600 series power meter; the combination features a standards-compliant beam geometry and modal distribution across the fiber core, resulting in better test consistency when different sources are used to test the same sample.

IEC, EMC, ICES, and FCC compliant

NATAILAC-MRA accredited for world recognized traceable calibration
