Livingston Announces Highly Adaptable Optical Test Kit Offering
Livingston has, following the success of its RF test kit, now introduced an extremely flexible optical test kit to complement this. Through these kits Livingston clients will be able to specify a variety of different optical test products from the company’s broad portfolio - in order to put together a simple all-encompassing, cost-optimised rental package that suits their particular application needs, with all the benefits of a one-stop-shop approach. Through the optical test kit, they will be able to choose from an array of different optical analysers, optical power meters, dispersion analysers and optical sources available, as well various fusion splicers and fibre microscopes, to create a comprehensive test system.
The kit’s adaptability means that Livingston can respond to the growing use within the industry of passive optical network (PON) architectures, which require a different set of instruments, as conventional loss testers and OTDRs don’t have pass/fail functionality built in. It also addresses operators’ greater usage of fibre microscopes a with pass/fail option - as 90% of all network problems currently come from use of dirty connectors, the thorough inspection of connectors is now proving vital.
“Our newly announced optical test kits will present the test engineers that make up our customer base with an incredibly versatile equipment rental offering, where they can mix and match different test items from all the industry’s key manufacturers to build a fully optimised test solution for fibre optic deployment,” says Reinier Treur, Livingston’s Global Marketing Director. “It highlights our continuing efforts to make the rental of the latest instrumentation as convenient as possible.”
