The OZ Optics Limited Benchtop BM-1000 and BM-2000 Backreflection Meters measure the total accumulated optical return loss that is reflected back through a pigtailed fiber optics device or fiber under test. The measured reflections are caused by Rayleigh scattering, sudden changes in the refractive index within the device under test (DUT), or from connector ends.

The Benchtop Backreflection Meter is configured with an FC/APC connector on the output port, to minimize unwanted reflections. The meter has either one or two built-in SLEDs, LEDs or laser diodes for return loss measurement at specific wavelengths. An optional detector can be added to the unit for insertion loss measurements. Reference patchcords for calibration are available.

The Benchtop Backreflection Meter is offered with special wavelengths, ranging from 633 nm to 1625 nm, thus providing backreflection measurement capabilities for non-telecom applications as well as telecom. Please refer to the ordering information. The Benchtop Backreflection Meter has a color touch screen display with a simple graphical user interface. The unit comes with a built-in memory that allows the user to store measured DUT test results. The Benchtop BM-1000 and BM-2000 Backreflection Meters can be operated remotely via the built-in USB interface. A universal AC/DC power supply is included with all units.
