Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI SmartClass Fiber OLS-85 is a compact handheld optical light source used for fiber-optic network qualification and certification. It works with the SmartClass Fiber OLP-85 and OLP-85P optical power meters to run automatic loss tests.

The OLS-85 comes in several versions with different wavelength combinations. They are suited to link loss testing and to characterizing long-haul, metro and access telecommunication networks, and also to data center and local area network testing.

The instrument has a 3.5-in color touch screen with an integrated stylus. Pass/fail analysis uses individual threshold settings. Fiber inspection with automated pass/fail analysis is available with the optional P5000i microscope. Inspection images and test results are stored on the instrument with a time stamp. Data transfer and remote control work over USB or Ethernet.

With VIAVI optical power meters, the source supports auto-lambda and multi-lambda test functions. The housing is rugged and weather-proof, and interchangeable Senko optical adapters fit FC, SC, ST and LC connectors.
