This is a handheld optical light source that combines 850 and 1300 nm multimode LED with 1310 and 1550 nm singlemode lasers. Designed for general-purpose testing of both multimode and singlemode fiber systems, it provides excellent output stability, reconnection repeatability, and ISO/IEC 17025 traceable calibration. With its APC connectors, rugged housing, and long battery life, it is ideal for broadband, enterprise, and telecom field testing.
