OWL ZO2SV Silicon ZOOM 2 optical power meter w/integrated VFL

The Silicon ZOOM 2 VFL is a high accuracy, high resolution, microprocessor controlled, optical power meter. It has a 65dB dynamic range, and is NIST-Traceable at 850nm, making it ideal for multimode fiber testing.

It is enclosed in an attractive handheld case with a graphic liquid crystal display, and 2-key keypad for easy operation. Its 2.5mm universal fiber connector port allows connection to ST, SC, FC, and other popular 2.5mm ferrule connectors, will operate for over 250 hours on a standard high-capacity 9v battery, and has built-in auto shutdown. Reference values for each calibrated wavelength can be stored in permanent memory for quick and simple optical loss measurements.

The Silicon ZOOM 2 VFL also contains a precision-coupled visual fault locator optimized for fiber optics. An optical ball lens placed near the laser output focuses the light for optimum input into fiber optic cables, and special current- limiting electronics prevents laser burnout (a common problem with pen-style laser pointers), increasing the life of the VFL.

Its high-intensity red laser allows for fiber identification up to 5 kilometers away through both multimode and singlemode fibers. It can also be used to check for faults within a few feet of its launch point. When the bright red light encounters a fault, the light is deflected into the jacket, producing a red glow at the point of the fault.
