Usage

The two light sources KE8100 and KE8200 with their stabilized laser diodes 

support different wavelengths (KE8100: 850 and 1300 nm; KE8200: 1310, 

1490 and 1550 nm), the precise identification of fibres, the determination of 

fibre  attenuation  and  thus  the  assurance  of  sufficient  transmission  quality. 

They provide high-quality laser light for testing in field and laboratory applica-

tions. The robust casing, the large LCD display with backlight and the simple 

operation make the handy KE8100 and KE8200 light sources ideal tools for 

your daily testing tasks. Due to the stabilization of the output power and the 

different wavelengths, the laser light sources are indispensable  for optical 

network installations as well as for troubleshooting and maintenance in LAN/

WAN, Enterprise, Carrier Ethernet, FTTx, PON and telecom wide area net-

works. In combination with the KE8000 optical level meter, optical losses can 

be easily determined and the attenuation behavior of optical fibres evaluated.
