Overview
High performance platform for dispersion, loss and length measurement of single-mode, multimode and specialty fibers
The 2880 Fiber Analysis System is a factory-proven optical test platform that can be configured to perform fast, accurate and reliable characterization of several important single-mode and multimode optical fiber transmission parameters. These include: chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, spectral attenuation, fiber length, strain, transmitted power, bending loss and cable skew.
Multiple measurement capability makes the 2880 a versatile tool for both fiber and cable manufacturers.
