KINGFISHER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KINGFISHER from 3G Electric.
What wavelengths does the Kingfisher T9600A optical power meter support?
The Kingfisher T9600A supports wavelengths of 850, 1300, 1310, 1390, 1490, 1550, 1577, 1590, 1610, and 1625 nm. This range covers common single-mode and multi-mode fiber testing applications, including 850 nm for multi-mode and 1310/1550 nm for single-mode. The meter includes an SC/UPC adapter and is supplied with a carry case, quick reference card, and certificate of calibration. It is a pocket-sized unit intended for field verification and loss testing.
What is the difference between the Kingfisher T9812A and T9822A light sources?
The Kingfisher T9812A is a multi-mode light source, while the T9822A is a single-mode light source. Both are designed for use with optical power meters. The T9812A includes an SC adapter and features an SC/UPC connection type. The T9822A also has an SC/UPC connector on End 1. The primary difference is the fiber mode they are intended to test: T9812A for multi-mode, T9822A for single-mode. Both units are typically used to inject a stable optical signal for loss measurements.
Does the Kingfisher T9600A-H3B power meter include a calibration certificate?
Yes, the Kingfisher T9600A-H3B is supplied with a certificate of calibration (CoC) as part of its included items. The package also contains the optical power meter, an SC adapter, a carry case, and a quick reference card. The CoC provides traceability for the instrument's calibration status. This model supports single- and multi-mode fiber and covers wavelengths from 850 to 1625 nm. It is a pocket-sized unit designed for field use.
What is TamperLock mode on the Kingfisher T9600A power meter?
TamperLock mode is a feature of the Kingfisher T9600A optical power meter that allows the user to lock settings to prevent unauthorized changes. This can be useful in situations where consistent measurement parameters must be maintained, such as during acceptance testing or troubleshooting by multiple technicians. The mode is listed as a feature of the T9600A. The meter otherwise supports single- and multi-mode fiber, wavelengths from 850 to 1625 nm, and includes an SC/UPC adapter, carry case, quick reference card, and certificate of calibration.
Can Kingfisher optical power meters and light sources be used together for loss testing?
Yes, Kingfisher optical power meters and light sources are designed to be used together for fiber optic loss testing. A light source (such as the T9812A or T9822A) injects a known optical signal into one end of a fiber, and a power meter (such as the T9600A or T9600A-H3B) measures the received power at the other end. The difference between the transmitted and received power indicates the loss. Both instruments use SC/UPC connections, allowing direct mating with common patch cords. This pairing is standard practice for verifying insertion loss and troubleshooting fiber links.
