Guide to Fiber Optics Instrumentation and Test Equipment

Keep your signal clear with fiber optics instrumentation and test equipment


Whether your business uses fiber optic instruments in telecommunications, medical imaging or other applications, fiber optic testing supplies are essential to assuring the strength of the signal is at optimum levels. The equipment's key features range from detectors for different types of fiber to devices that you can program and read remotely. There also are models that you can upgrade with compatible software.

Look for the right fiber optic testing device in online catalogs. Suppliers carry large inventories of new and used fiber optics test equipment for sale. Research your options to determine what best fits your company's needs and budget. When purchasing fiber optic testing devices, take the following questions into account:

1. What key features of fiber optics instrumentation does your business need?

2. Should you purchase a fiber optic test equipment kit?

3. Where can you acquire top-quality fiber optics instrumentation and test equipment?

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Determine the important features of fiber optics and laser instrumentation for your needs It's easy to find the fiber optics instrumentation you want because there is so much available. Decide if you need multifunction testing devices or simpler meter systems. Consider used fiber optics instrumentation and remote-controlled devices.

I recommend:  Visit GAO Tek to view fiber optic instruments with a variety of features. Review the descriptions of functions specifications to find models with various features. Kandel Electronics has a complete line of new and reconditioned (and guaranteed) fiber optic testing equipment, from system analyzers and test sets to optical heads. Check the range of products for ones with your specifications.

Search for fiber optic testing kits Fiber optic testing requires more than just the meter. If your business handles the complete maintenance of your fiber optic systems, consider purchasing testing kits. In the kit you will find the fiber optic power meter, a light source, protective boots and carrying case. Some also include output software.

I recommend:  The Atcom division LANshack.com supplies several fiber optic testing kits. You can find the contents and prices of various kits for comparison. At Fiber Optic Tools you can buy kits for several different purposes. You can customize the kit you select by designating the light source combination and test leads you would like to have included.

Buy your fiber optic testing equipment from a reputable dealer Purchase your fiber optics instrumentation and test equipment from companies that specialize in fiber optics. Look for online suppliers that carry name brands. Check with electricians' organizations to make sure the dealer is certified.

I recommend:  You first stop should be The Fiber Optic Association. This nonprofit organization certifies installers, contractors and suppliers. The FOA database provides a comprehensive selection of businesses selling fiber optic instrumentation. The Fiber Optic Link of RLH Industries provides product information from a comprehensive set of reputable suppliers.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • To avoid safety and technical problems, make sure your fiber optics testing equipment adheres to the Electronics Industries Alliance/Telecommunications Industry Association's (EIA/TIA) guidelines.
