More Information

Exfo IQ-3400 PDL/OL Meter Overview

Features:

  • Complete Loss Analysis Solution
  • Average and standard deviation reporting on multiple measurements
  • High resolution: 0.001 dB
  • Coupling Ratio
The Exfo IQ-3400 Series PDL/Optical Loss Meters was developed for the IQ-200 Optical Test System. They are designed for laboratory and manufacturing measurement applications using the IQ-203 Mainframe or an IQ-206 PC Expansion Card.

IQ-3400:
The IQ-3400 can perform complete component characterization with the following measurements: polarization dependent loss; insertion loss; optical return loss; excess loss; coupling ratio; polarization dependent coupling ratio; and reference power. Standard deviation, averaging and a graphical interface allow for complete component characterization.

IQ-3400B:
The Exfo IQ-3400B PDL/OL Meter uses the scanning method for simple, flexible component characterization on the production floor. Start with a laser source, use the IQ-5100B to scramble the polarization state of the signal, and then take a power acquisition with the IQ-3400B. Getting reliable PDL measurements is easy with the streamlined IQ PDL test setup.

Back up your PDL measurements with the IQ-3400B's optical return loss (ORL) test function. PDL can be caused by ORL from a scratched connector. If the PDL reading on a connectorized device seems unusually high, the ORL tester lets you check for loss due to connector damage.

The Exfo IQ-3400 PDL/OL Meter may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

PDL/OL Meter Price & Specs

Exfo IQ-3400 PDL/OL Meter Description

Exfo IQ-3400 is an advanced PDL/OL Meter designed for comprehensive optical fiber network analysis. This versatile instrument integrates the capabilities of a Polarization Dependent Loss meter, an Insertion Loss meter, and a Return Loss / Back Reflection meter into a single, compact platform. It serves critical roles in laboratory research, manufacturing quality control, and field deployment for evaluating passive optical components and systems. This robust optical test solution precisely quantifies polarization dependent loss, a critical parameter for modern high-speed optical systems. The instrument is engineered to support standard fiber types, including 9/125 um, ensuring compatibility with common single-mode installations. The Exfo IQ-3400 further extends its utility by providing accurate measurements for insertion loss and return loss, vital for characterizing passive optical components.
