Greenlee / Tempo / RIFOCS 588RL 1310/1550nm Return Loss Test Set Overview
Features:
- Measures Return Loss at 1310nm, 1550nm, and 1310 & 1550nm
- 0 to 70dB Return Loss Measurement Range
- Logarithmic dB/dBm Units
- High Resolution: 0.01dB/dBm
- Optical Interface: FC/APC
After the 588RL is zeroed and referenced, the operator measures return loss by taking the optical fiber immediately after the device under test and wrapping it around a supplied mandrel.
The 588RL prints customized labels containing measurement, date, and time information when connected to a parallel or serial printer. Up to seven different label formats can be stored in non-volatile memory for later use.
A built-in serial port allows the 588RL to be controlled remotely from a computer, enabling the automation of complex or repetitive measurements. LabView and LabWindows drivers for the instrument are available from Tempo.
The 588RL can also be connected to a 570L Series benchtop optical power meter using the built-in I2C interface for efficient insertion loss and return loss testing in manufacturing or laboratory settings.
In addition, the 588RL features a BNC analog output interface for convenient external monitoring.
Greenlee Textron, now Tempo Textron, acquired Rifocs in November of 1999.
The RIFOCS 588RL 1310/1550nm Return Loss Test Set may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Great customer service. good prices and knowledgeable staff!
- Brian S.
Artisan saved us headaches and money by helping us find a replacement Tektronix VXI module. Finding quality replacement parts is difficult and I'm glad they had what I needed.
- Shelby G.
The customer service representative was great. She couldn’t answer my question but connected me to an engineer who made sure I was ordering the right part. Shipping was fast too.
- Angie R. Facebook
Fantastic company with great people! We are lucky to have them in Champaign!
- Neo Google
Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
