Description
Overview
The Viavi ORL-85 is a SmartClass fiber inspection-ready optical return loss meter designed for field deployment and installation verification. With a measurement wavelength range of 1260 to 1650 nm and return loss capability up to 70 dB, the instrument combines return loss measurement, optical power measurement, light source functions, and fiber end-face inspection in a portable platform. High-speed laser systems, analog transmission systems (CATV), and Raman amplifier systems require high return loss for optimal performance, making accurate return loss measurement critical for system reliability.
Key Features
- Measurement wavelength range from 1260 to 1650 nm with 1 nm incremental setting at power meter
- Return loss measurement up to 70 dB for high-performance optical systems
- Angled single-mode test port (APC) for accurate return loss measurements up to 50 dB without external termination
- Ultra-sensitive power meter combined with stabilized light sources for full dynamic range
- 3.5 inch color touch screen with integrated stylus for intuitive operation
- Interchangeable optical adapters (Senko) for FC, SC, ST, and LC connectors
- Individual threshold settings for power and loss pass/fail analysis
- Fiber inspection and test results storage with time stamp
- Automated pass/fail fiber inspection analysis with optional P5000i microscope
- Auto-lambda and multi-lambda test functions for flexible measurement modes
- Data transfer and remote control via USB or Ethernet interface
- Compact, rugged, weather-proof design for field use
Applications
- Measurement of optical return loss in high-speed systems
- Measurement of optical power (absolute and relative)
- Measurement of optical insertion loss
- Inspection of optical connectors (end-face inspection by visual contact - IBYC)
- Installation verification and commissioning
- Field troubleshooting and maintenance
