Loss measurement of optical passive components
The AQ2300 supports measurement of optical loss measurements for passive components such as optical fibers, connectors, couplers, etc. By combining optical sources, power meters, attenuators and switching modules in single modular system, engineers can evaluate the optical insertion loss and crosstalk of various optical passive components.
[Measurement items] Optical insertion loss, crosstalk
MPO component inspection system
The AQ2300 can be combined with the AQ7420 or AQ7421 High-Resolution Reflectometer to build a multi-fiber inspection system for MPO and multi-fiber optical components. Optical switches route the measurement path across multiple fibers, enabling insertion loss and optical return loss measurements in a multi-channel configuration. The AQ7420 and AQ7421 provide high-resolution reflection analysis to identify the position and magnitude of localized reflections, helping detect defects such as micro-cracks that may be difficult to identify through conventional loss measurements alone. By combining this detailed reflection analysis with the AQ2300's flexible optical switching and power measurement capabilities, the system supports comprehensive evaluation of insertion loss, total and partial optical return loss, and micro-cracks in MPO components.
