Multi-Function Optical Fiber Cable Tester

The Tripp Lite T020-001-PSF combines a power meter, light source and visual fault locator in one handheld device. It supports FC connectors with optional SC, ST and LC adapters available separately. The unit runs on three rechargeable AA batteries and includes a USB Micro-B port for charging. A carrying case, cleaning swabs and owner's manual are supplied.

Technicians verifying single-mode

Installers who need to measure loss at 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm and inject light at 1310 and 1550 nm will find the required wavelengths covered. The auto-off function conserves battery life during extended jobs. Teams requiring an integrated RJ-45 copper tester or HDMI signal generator should look at a different instrument category.

Wavelength coverage decides suitability

The power meter reads six specific wavelengths from 850 to 1625 nm while the light source outputs two wavelengths at 1310 and 1550 nm. If the link under test operates outside these bands the tester cannot characterise it. Match the fibre type and transceiver wavelengths to these figures before purchase.

Questions about this item

What accessories ship with the T020-001-PSF and what must I buy separately?

The box includes the tester, three AA batteries, cleaning swabs, a carrying case and the owner's manual. Optional SC, ST and LC adapters for the FC connectors are sold separately.

Which wavelength capabilities should guide my choice of this tester?

The light source operates at 1310 and 1550 nm. The power meter reads 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm, covering single-mode and multi-mode fibre.

What does the 1625 nm power-meter reading mean when I am testing live fibre?

It lets you measure loss at the 1625 nm maintenance wavelength without interrupting traffic that runs on 1310, 1490 or 1550 nm channels.
