Guides & Resources

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the Tempo Communications SLS520 and SLS525 stabilized light sources?

The SLS520 is a single-mode stabilized light source with an LC connection type and includes an SC/PC adapter. The SLS525 is a multi-mode stabilized light source with an ST connection type and also includes an SC/PC adapter. Both are designed for use with optical power meters to measure loss and power in fiber optic networks. The primary difference is the fiber mode: SLS520 supports single-mode fiber, while SLS525 supports multi-mode fiber. Connector types also differ, with the SLS520 using LC and the SLS525 using ST. Both models support FC, LC, and ST connectors through the included adapter or direct connection.

What is the maximum locating depth of the Tempo Communications 551 underground utility locator?

The Tempo Communications 551 underground utility locator has a maximum locating depth of 20 ft. It is a digital locator rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, operating in Active mode at a frequency of 33 kHz. This model is designed for detecting and tracing buried metallic utilities such as pipes and cables. The 20 ft depth capability makes it suitable for typical underground infrastructure locating tasks. For comparison, the Tempo Communications 501 analog locator has a maximum depth of 10 ft and operates at 447 kHz.

What types of cables can the Tempo Communications 45579 cable stripper handle?

The Tempo Communications 45579 is a manual cable stripper designed for twisted pair cable with stranded wire. It has an 8-inch overall length and features a standard cushion grip for comfortable handling during field use. This tool is intended for data and telecommunications cable preparation, specifically for stripping twisted pair cables. It is not specified for coaxial cable, although the product category includes data and coaxial cable strippers. For coaxial cable stripping, other models in the Tempo Communications line may be required. The 45579 is a hand tool, so it relies on manual operation rather than motorized or automated stripping.

Which Tempo Communications light source models are available for single-mode fiber testing?

Tempo Communications offers several single-mode stabilized light sources for optical power meters, including the SLS520, SLS530, SLS535, and SLS536. The SLS520 features an LC connection and includes an SC/PC adapter. The SLS530 has an FC connection and includes an SC/PC adapter. The SLS535 has an FC connection and includes a carrying case. The SLS536 has an LC connection and includes a carrying case. All these models support FC, LC, and ST connector types and are designed for single-mode fiber measurement. They provide a stable optical signal for testing fiber continuity, splice loss, and link performance when used with an optical power meter.

What is the operating frequency of the Tempo Communications 501 underground utility locator?

The Tempo Communications 501 underground utility locator operates at a frequency of 447 kHz in Active testing mode. It is an analog, audible locating device with a maximum depth of 10 ft. This model is designed for detecting and tracing buried metallic utilities such as pipes and cables. The 447 kHz frequency is used for active locating, where a transmitter applies a signal to the utility being traced. The 501 does not have an IP rating, unlike the digital 551 model which is IP54 rated. The 501 is suitable for shallower locating tasks up to 10 ft deep.

Are Tempo Communications stabilized light sources compatible with different fiber connectors?

Yes, Tempo Communications stabilized light sources are available with various connector types and often include adapters to support multiple interfaces. For example, the SLS520, SLS525, SLS530, and SLS535 include an SC/PC adapter, while the SLS535 and SLS536 include a carrying case. The light sources themselves have specific End 1 connection types: SLS520 and SLS536 use LC, SLS530 and SLS535 use FC, and SLS525 uses ST. However, the product specifications indicate support for FC, LC, and ST connectors, meaning that with the appropriate adapter or patch cord, these light sources can interface with different connector styles. This flexibility allows technicians to use the same light source across various fiber patch panels and equipment.
