MLP5-2 Multimode Test Kit with Wave
ID, Set Reference, and Data Storage
The MLP5-2 test kit combines the OPM5-2D optical power meter and OLS1-Dual LED light
source and is ideally suited for testing multimode fiber optic networks.
The OLS1-Dual features 850 and 1300 nm LED output from a single output port and is
easy to operate with only a power button and a wavelength select button. Each wavelength
may be transmitted individually at CW or with Wave ID. When transmitting with Wave
ID, the OLS1-Dual supports transmitting pairs of wavelengths in an alternating pattern.
Associated with each operating condition, the designated LED indicator will illuminate to
identify the currently enabled operating mode and emitted wavelength(s) along with battery
charge status and external power presence. The OLS1-Dual output port is equipped with
UCI based removable adapters to allow the output connectors to be inspected and cleaned.
The OPM5-2D features automatic wavelength identification and switching (Wave ID) when
used with the OLS1-Dual and stores optical references for each calibrated wavelength
and up to 500 records per wavelength of power or insertion loss measurements. Using
the supplied Windows® compatible software and USB connection, test records are
transferred to a PC for analysis, printing, and storage. A large dual-wavelength LCD display
with backlight shows measured power [dBm or µW] or insertion loss [dB], calibrated
wavelengths [nm], tone signal [Hz], wavelength ID, and estimated remaining battery life.
The OPM5-2D optical input port accepts a variety of Noyes thread-on style adapter caps
(ordered separately) to meet a wide range of testing requirements.
The OLS1-Dual and OPM5-2D offer long battery life from common AA alkaline batteries
with external AC adapter available as an option.
The MLP5-2 test kit is fully N.I.S.T. traceable.
