Description
The Ando AQ4251 is a dual-wavelength laser diode (LD) light source unit designed for use with the AQ2150 Optical Multimeter platform. It provides stable optical output at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm, making it ideal for optical loss measurements, component testing, and return loss analysis in single-mode fiber systems.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Applications: Optical fiber loss testing, return loss measurement, and general-purpose optical source for telecom and lab environments
One of its key advantages is that it eliminates the need to swap modules when switching between 1310 and 1550 nm, which is especially handy in the field. It’s compact, rugged, and designed for portability—perfect for technicians on the go.
