Viavi SmartClass Fiber ORL-85 Inspection-Ready Optical Return Loss Meters

Viavi SmartClass Fiber ORL-85 Inspection-Ready Optical Return Loss Meters Product Description

The ultra-sensitive power meter combined with stabilised light sources enable up to a 70 dB measurement range.

The angled single-mode test port (APC) guarantees highly accurate return loss measurements without requiring external termination for up to 50 dB return loss measurements.

What is Return Loss?

Return loss is the loss of power in the signal returned/reflected by a discontinuity in a transmission line. This discontinuity can be a mismatch with the terminating load or with a device inserted in the line, and is a measure of how well devices or lines are matched. If the impedance match is good, all the energy will be transmitted through and nothing should be reflected.
