Product information "BM Backreflection Meters"

Single and Dual Source; 633-1625 nm; Reflectance Dynamic Range -1--70 dB; Fiber Type SM, MM; 8° Angled NTT-FC/APC Receptacle

OZ Optics’ BM series of backreflection meters measure the total accumulated optical return loss that is reflected back through a device or fiber under test. The measured reflections are caused by Rayleigh scattering, sudden changes in the refractive index within the device under test (DUT), or from connector ends. BM series meters are available as portable handheld devices (BM-100 and BM-200) or in a benchtop form factor (BM-1000 and BM-2000).

The BM series backreflection meters are configured with an FC/APC connector on the output port, to minimize unwanted reflections. The meters have either one or two built-in laser diodes (plus a choice of SLEDs or LEDs for benchtop models) for return loss measurement at specific wavelengths. An optional detector can be added to the unit for insertion loss measurements. Reference patchcords for calibration are available.

BM series meters cover a wide range of available wavelengths, thus providing measurement capabilities for non-telecom applications as well as telecom. BM-100/200 portable meters' wavelengths range from 8050 nm to 1625 nm, while the BM-1000/2000 benchtop meters are offered with special wavelengths, ranging from 633 nm to 1625 nm.

The BM-1000/2000 benchtop backreflection meters feature a colour touchscreen display with a simple graphical user interface. The units come with a built-in memory that allows the user to store measured DUT test results.

The BM series backreflection meters can be operated remotely via the built-in USB interface. A universal AC/DC power supply is included with all units. Reference patch cords for calibration are available. Adapter patch cords are also available, to allow the meter to be used with devices having different connectors.
