2880 Fiber Analysis System
Next generation platform for dispersion, loss and length measurement of single-mode, multimode and specialty fibers
The 2880 Fiber Analysis System is a factory-proven optical test platform that can be configured to perform fast, accurate
and reliable characterization of several important single-mode and multimode optical fiber transmission parameters. These include: chromatic
dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, spectral attenuation, fiber length, strain, transmitted power, bending loss and cable skew.
Multiple measurement capability makes the 2880 a versatile tool for both fiber and cable manufacturers.
Features and Benefits
Fastest Chromatic Dispersion Measurements
- Minimize measurement time and expense
Configurable Optical Platform
- Provides full spectral coverage from 1240 to 1650 nm with standard configuration
- Allows customization of spectral range and width with special wavelength fixed source and tunable laser options
- Add either interferometric or wavelength scanning PMD measurement options
- Enables measurements on fibers over 200 km long with ultra-high dynamic range option
- Measurement options for cable design qualification (single and multi-fiber strain, cable skew, macrobending loss)
PKSL Test Application
- Provides menu-driven test definition with an easy to use graphic user interface, plus the ability to extensively customize test sequences
