Turbotest 500B
Optical Loss/Return Loss Test Sets
The Turbotest 500B Series offers the latest technology in a single fiber bi-directional
loss and return loss testing. The T500B is a handheld fiber optic test and measurement
instrument. It performs Optical Power, Optical Return Loss, and Optical Loss
measurements. Five compact models are available, including the three wavelength
(1310/1550/1625) T506B and (1310/1550/1490) T506B-FTTH. An optional dedicated
digital talk option is available for full time/full duplex communication between test
operators while testing other fibers in a bundle.
The T500B can store up to 1000 records (40 files) in any combination of its four
operating modes and if any configuration other than TRIPLE wavelength is selected. If
the configuration is TRIPLE wavelength, the T500B can store up to 500 records (40 files).
Stored test results can be transferred to a PC for a complete report generation.
Powered by an internal rechargeable Lithium-lon battery, the T500B comes with protective
rubber boots, PC software and manual, AC adapter/charger, RS-232 serial cable, APC/UPC
reference cable, adapter cap, mandrel, screwdriver, hex screwdriver, warranty registration
card, user’s guide, and carry case.
