Multi Channel Optical Fibre Verification
-
The multi-channel optical fibre test system is used in the development and qualification of single mode optical fibres. The fibres are exposed to environmental influences in a climatic chamber in order to analyse the data on insertion loss and reflection. In addition, the current temperature in the climatic chamber is documented. Insertion loss measurement is performed with the help of an optical power meter, laser sources and optical switches. An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) from Exfo is used for the reflection measurements. The system was designed for the simultaneous characterization of 15 sample fibres and one reference fibre.

King Design Industrial Co., Ltd.
This tester is designed to assess the damage made to product packaging and internal objects caused from transporting environment; to discover the packaging flaw and product’s early failure from a long-term cumulative vibration fatigue; avoid man-made transporting damage and improve product’s reliability and quality of delivered products. With the use of high-performance foot absorber, the resonance effect to floor caused by the bounce test may be waived; and can reduce the pile’s destruction to industrial plants. Two displays can make comparative display on both frequency and rpm at the same time; thus no need to switch in order to read these two values. The dual-control mode of time accumulator and counter can avoid human error resulting from the conversion. Easy to operate; no need for complicate training program.

Multiport Coaxial Switch, DC to 4 GHz, SP4T
87204A
-
The Keysight 87204A terminated multiport switch provides the life and reliability required for automated test and measurement, signal monitoring and routing applications. Innovative design and careful process control created the Keysight 87204A which meet the requirements for highly repeatable switching elements in test instruments and switching interfaces. The Keysight 87204A is designed to operate for more than 10 million cycles. The exceptional 0.03 dB insertion loss repeatability is warranted for 5 million cycles at 25° C. This reduces sources of random errors in the measurement path and improves measurement uncertainty. Switch life is a critical consideration in production test systems, satellite and antenna monitoring systems, and test instrumentation. The longevity of this switch increases system uptime, and lowers the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and switch maintenance.
