Overview
The Jonard Tools SPC958 Test Kit is a comprehensive solution designed for fiber optic network installation and maintenance. This kit combines an optical power meter and a dual-wavelength light source to accurately measure absolute optical power and relative power loss in both single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables.
Housed in a durable blow-molded case with protective foam, the kit is intended for field use by technicians and contractors. It provides the essential tools for verifying fiber connectivity, performing loss testing, and identifying potential faults in data center, enterprise, and telecommunications environments.
