Applications
Link-loss characterization (ELS-50 Light Source) Power measurement (EPM-50 Power Meter

EXFO’s FiberBasix 50 series meets your basic day-to-day test requirements while helping you stay within budget. These worryfree, straightforward handheld testers enable accurate measurement of signal attenuation during fiber-optic cable installation. The FiberBasix 50 series includes two highly convenient instruments:

› The ELS-50 Light Source, which offers up to three wavelengths for singlemode testing and two wavelengths for multimode testing
› The EPM-50 Power Meter, which offers high accuracy and referencing capabilities

ELS-50 Light Source: Multiwavelength Capability

EXFO’s ELS-50 Light Source provides excellent stability and high measurement accuracy for up to three singlemode wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) or two multimode wavelengths (850 and 1300 nm). It is the perfect complement to the FiberBasix 50 EPM-50 Power Meter when it comes to measuring attenuation on fiber optic links.

EPM-50 Power Meter: High Accuracy and Easy Referencing

The EPM-50 Power Meter provides highly accurate power measurements, as well as reference value setting capabilities.
It offers power autonomy of 300 hours, for reliable, long-lasting performance in the field.
