Ordering Information
MODEL INCLUDES
ORL3-MM (1) ORL3B, protective rubber boot, PC software, adapter cap of the same connector type as
the transmit port, user’s guide, and carry case.
When ordering, specify transmit port connector type after the model number,
for example ORL3-MM-SC.
The ORL3B is a handheld fiber optic test and measurement instrument that offers two
modes of testing. It performs optical return loss measurements (ORL mode) and operates
as an optical power meter (OPM mode).
The ORL3B can store up to 1000 records (40 files) in any combination of its two operating
modes. With the supplied PC software, saved test results can be transferred to a PC for
storage, printing, and analysis. The ORL3B operates from an internal rechargeable
Lithium-Ion battery pack or external AC power adapter.
