Optical Loss Test Sets (OLTS) provide the most accurate method for determining the total loss of a link. AFL’s OLTS has been an industry favorite for over 30 years with more than 100,000 units shipped. Leading service providers and enterprise customers rely on AFL’s OLTS for their ruggedness, reliability, and best-in-the-industry 5-year warranty.
An OLTS test is performed with a light source on one end of the fiber sending a continuous wave at a specific wavelength(s) and a power meter on the opposite end measuring the light received. The loss measured is compared to the loss budget, which is usually calculated prior to installation, and reflects the industry standards used to ensure that the link can meet its application requirements. OLTS are mainly used to certify multimode and single-mode links, test Passive Optical Networks (PONs), identify fibers before splicing and ensure network continuity.
Designed for use in outside plant environments: AFL OLTS is extremely rugged and withstands one-meter drops, has splash-resistant controls that are easy to use with gloves on, and the field-swappable connector adapters provide flexibility and access for cleaning optical ports at the time of the test. Test faster with fewer errors: AFL’s Wave ID increases test speed by performing simultaneous multi-wavelength testing that cuts loss measurement time in half or more.
AFL’s automatic wavelength identification eliminates setup errors and simplifies coordination between users at opposite ends of the fiber.

The SMLP5-5 test kit combines the OPM5-2D optical power meter and OLS4 integrated LED and LASER light source and is ideally suited for testing fiber optic networks with hybrid (single-mode and multimode) cables. The OLS4 features 850/1300 nm LED output from a multimode output port and 1310/1550 nm LASER output from a single-mode output port. Each wavelength may be transmitted individually at CW or with user selectable modulated Tone (SM output). Also, each wavelength may be transmitted with Wave ID. When transmitting with Wave ID, the OLS4 supports transmitting pairs of wavelengths in an alternating pattern. Associated with each operating condition, the designated LED indicator will illuminate to identify the currently enabled operating mode and emitted wavelength(s) along with battery charge status and external power presence. Both output ports are equipped with UCI based removable adapters to allow the output connectors to be inspected and cleaned.
The OPM5-2D features automatic wavelength identification and switching (Wave ID) when used with the OLS4, multiple test Tone detection for fiber identification, and stores optical references for each calibrated wavelength and up to 500 records per wavelength of power or insertion loss measurements. Using the supplied Windows® compatible software and USB connection, test records are transferred to a PC for analysis, printing, and storage.
A large dual-wavelength LCD display with backlight shows measured power [dBm or µW] or insertion loss [dB], calibrated wavelengths [nm], tone signal [Hz], wavelength ID, and estimated remaining battery life. The OPM5-2D optical input port accepts a variety of Noyes thread-on style adapter caps (ordered separately) to meet a wide range of testing requirements.
The OPM5-2D or OLS4 offer long battery life from common AA alkaline batteries with external AC adapter available as an option. The SMLP5-5 test kit is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
