• OWL WaveSource WS-VSDst & WS-VSDsc Optical Fiber Light Sources + Visual Fault Locator (1310/1550nm) WaveSource series fiber optic light sources offer the fiber optic professional a wide range of options for their testing needs.  Many different combinations are available: multimode MM only, singlemode SM only, or both multimode MM and singlemode SM.  Our quad-wavelength version (WS-MDSD) has all four wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1550) in one unit!  Visual Fault Locators (VFL) can also be added to multimode MM only and singlemode SM only versions.  VFLs can be used in both multimode MM and singlemode SM optical fibers. The WS-VSDst and WS-VSDsc provides1310/1550nm test wavelengths. All versions of the WaveSource have two transmission modes: Continuous Wave (CW) for accurate temperature-stabilized fiber optic tests; and modulated mode.  Modulated mode provides for an auto-testing function when used with the Fiber OWL 4 or WaveTester optical power meter series.  The modulated signal from the WaveSource causes the WaveTester to switch to the currently selected wavelength, which eliminates much of the guesswork during tests, and saves valuable time. WaveSource light sources come configured with your choice of SC, ST, or FC connector ports. Automatic Wavelength Detection when used with the OWL waveTester and Fiber OWL Optical Fiber Power Meters.   Visual Fault Locator (VFL) Laser @ 650nm Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is used to quickly troubleshoot faults in the continuity of both single mode and multi-mode fibers, especially at fiber launch points or in OTDR dead zones.  A high intensity visible red laser beam, 650nm, is precision-coupled into a optical fiber; breaks and micro-bends in the fiber deflect the red light into the fiber jacket, producing a red glow at the point of the fault.
