Description

EXFO's FiberBasix 50 series meets your basic day-to-day test requirements while helping you stay within budget. These worry-free, straightforward handheld testers enable accurate measurement of signal attenuation during fiber-optic cable installation.

The FiberBasix 50 series includes two highly convenient instruments:

The ELS-50 Light Source, combining up to three wavelengths in a single configuration
The EPM-50 Power Meter, which offers high accuracy and referencing capabilities

An FTTx test solution

These products are part of EXFO's series of FTTx optical test products. They allow for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and comply with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 Recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard.

ELS-50 light source: multiwavelength capability

The EPM-50 Power Meter provides highly accurate power measurements, as well as reference value setting capabilities. It offers power autonomy of 300 hours, for reliable, long-lasting performance in the field.

Get exactly what you need

FiberBasix 50 Handheld Testers are available either individually (ELS-50 Light Source and EPM-50 Power Meter), or in all-in-one test kits including all required accessories (adapters, carrying case, etc.) and designed for specific users/testing needs: LAN, outside plant, contractors, FTTH and CATV.
