Three modulation frequencies - 270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz
>20 hours battery life
Universal (SOC) interface

The Tektronix TOP130 Optical LED Source is a small, rugged LED source designed for use in installing, maintaining and researching LAN, FDDI and other fiber optic links.

This multimode instrument provides two calibrated outputs - at 850 nm and 1300 nm. Providing both CW and modulated outputs, the user can set the modulation frequency to match the frequency signatures required by fiber identifiers and signal tracers (270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz). The TOP130 comes with a choice of adapters; two selected adapters will be provided. (Laser class 1)

TOP140/TOP160 Optical Laser Sources

Universal connector interface (UCI)
>80 hours battery life (>50 Hours TOP160)

The TOP140 and TOP160 Optical Laser Sources answer the need for small, rugged and truly versatile laser sources for use in installation, maintenance and testing of fiber optic systems. These laser sources cover the most used singlemode transmission windows -1310 nm and 1550 nm. The TOP140 and TOP160 provide both CW and modulated output modes. In CW mode these instruments feature extremely stable output power. In the modulated mode the frequency may be set to 270 Hz, 1 kHz or 2 kHz.

All laser sources feature the Universal Connector Interface which adapts to all standard fiber optic connectors via a complete line of simple, screw-on/screw-off UCI adapters. (Laser class 1)

TOP200 Optical Power Meter

Set reference for different wavelengths
Save references for each wavelength
Universal (SOC) interface
>100 hours battery life

The TOP200 handheld optical power meter covers the full range of optical fiber applications. This instrument is quality engineered for field and lab personnel requiring a high performance, cost effective, compact and rugged optical power meter.

The TOP200 uses the Snap-On Connector (SOC) interface. Most industry standard fiber optic connectors can be accommodated, including FC, ST and SC.

The extraordinary design combines a state-of-the-art signal processor and microcomputer electronics to provide superb performance as well as simple and elegant operation with just three controls: ON/OFF, dBm/dB and lambda. A reference value can be set and also saved for each wavelength.

TOP220 High-Power Optical Power Meter

Universal (SOC) interface
Auto shutoff

The Tektronix TOP220 is a handheld, high-power optical power meter. It can measure optical signals as high as +25 dBm. It also can make measurements on the low end down to -30 dBm. This instrument is quality engineered for field and lab applications requiring a high performance, cost effective, compact and rugged optical power meter.

The TOP220 uses the Snap-On Connector (SOC) interface. Most industry standard fiber-optic connectors can be accommodated, including FC, ST and SC.

TOP300 Visual Fault Finder

Fault location to millimeter accuracy
Long battery life

The TOP300 Visual Fault Finder is specifically designed for field personnel who need an efficient and economical tool to visually check continuity and integrity of fiber installations, during and after installation. Unlike many other visual fault finders, the high-efficiency laser diode operates at short wavelengths which makes the emitted light particularly visible.

Difficult-to-locate fiber breaks are easily detected when using the TOP300 visual fault finder. Whenever the fiber is interrupted, the light escapes the fiber and becomes visible to the operator. Precise pinpointing of problems is immediate and intuitive to the user.

The optical connection is via the precision Universal Connector Interface (UCI) which offers superior repeatability, longevity and ease of maintenance. (Laser class 1). The TOP300 features a stabilized output that can be used as a reference source in short wavelength LANs.

TOP400 Optical Attenuator

Universal connector interface (UCI)
Less than 2 dB insertion loss

The Tektronix TOP400 is a handheld optical attenuator. Its superior design allows it to have less than 2 dB of insertion loss. The TOP400, when used with an optical power meter and source, allows the user to manually dial in attenuation to determine system headroom. It is a passive device and does not require any batteries or power for operation.

The TOP400 uses a proprietary scheme for the attenuating mechanism. The small size and large dial indicator make this instrument an indispensable tool for fiber optic line commissioning, bit error rate (BER) measurements, system margin analysis and receiver sensitivity testing. All optical connections are via the precision Universal Connector Interface (UCI) which offers low insertion loss, low return loss and excellent stability.
