Description

SmartClass Fibre Optical Return Loss Meters

The VIAVI ORL-85 SmartClass Fibre Inspection-Ready Optical Return Loss Meter is a versatile test instrument that combines multiple functions in one compact device. It provides fibre inspection, optical power meter (OPM), light source (OLS), and continuous wave return loss meter (OCWR) capabilities.

Key Features:

  • Perform real-time simultaneous return loss measurements at multiple wavelengths.
  • Benefit from automated pass/fail fibre inspection analysis with the optional P5000i microscope.
  • Store fibre inspection and test results onboard with a time stamp.
  • Measure high precision return loss of up to 70 dB.
  • Utilize the 3.5″ color touch screen with an integrated stylus for easy operation.
  • Enable in-service loss testing for optical systems with high-speed lasers, analog transmission (CATV), or Raman amplifiers.

Benefits:

  • Complete jobs faster, correctly, and on time with integrated fibre inspection, power meter, light source, and return loss meter.
  • Enjoy a full day of autonomy with its battery-operated and field-portable design.
  • Transfer data and control the device remotely using USB, Ethernet, or optional WiFi connection.
  • Experience extreme accuracy in RF environments with its shielded housing.
  • Rely on its rugged and weather-proof design for outdoor use.

The ORL-85 is compatible with the P5000i digital analysis microscope, allowing you to check fibre end-face quality and obtain pass/fail acceptance results at the push of a button. Its threshold settings and intuitive touch screen user interface make it easy for anyone to become a fibre expert without specialized training.

With automatic functions like Auto-λ and real-time Multi-λ, the ORL-85 eliminates handling errors and speeds up test time. It seamlessly integrates with other members of the SmartClass Fibre family (OLS, OLP, and OLT) for enhanced functionality.

Save test results, including power, return loss, and fibre inspection data, with real-time stamps to generate certification reports. You can easily upload test results to a PC for post-processing using the FiberChekPRO PC software.

The ORL-85 is designed to accompany fibre technicians wherever they go, whether it’s up poles or down holes. Its powerful and user-friendly solution empowers technicians with flexibility and performance, instantly transforming them into fibre experts.
