Fastest and most accurate in its class
User-friendly testing experience
Leading supplier of cable assembly test equipment
User self-calibration and RL measurement up to 85 dB
Best-in-class back reflection accuracy (± 0.4 dB)

The Santec RLM return loss meter builds on 20 years of experience and customer feedback from industry leaders in the cable assembly test market. It is the next generation of IL/RL meters. Improvements to key hardware components make it twice as fast as other premium testing solutions with the same accuracy. This is enabled by a new patented calibration method that lets you perform user self-calibration and measure RL in single-mode up to 85 dB with increased accuracy. Additional enhancements, such as the front-panel touchscreen and easy-to-use software, are ideal for production environments and laboratories. The redesigned integrating-sphere detector can measure loss on dense 72-channel MTP/MPO connectors and duplex LC from a single connection. The patented SD slide-detection adapters provide the highest ease of use.

Santec BRM-100

The BRM-100 back reflection meter is an instrument developed with exceptionally stable optics for precise measurement of back reflection, insertion loss and power. Available with 1, 4, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48 or 72 output channels, the BRM is a practical choice for both single-fiber and multi-fiber network testing. The BRM-100 features up to four built-in sources at wavelengths of 450, 650, 780, 850, 1060, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625 or 1650 nm. Custom configurations available on request. The BRM-100 boasts best-in-class back reflection accuracy (± 0.4 dB) with measurement sensitivity down to -85 dB. You can use the BRM with our free GMS software for automated testing. The multimode BRM is internally conditioned in accordance with the IEC 61280-4-1 „Encircled Flux Standard”.

Santec ILM-100

The ILM-100 insertion loss meter is designed for fast and accurate detection of insertion loss on fiber optic components. The system features a built-in stabilized laser source operating in single-mode applications or an LED source for multimode applications. With a dual-wavelength configuration, insertion loss can be measured at two wavelengths in less than 1 second. The ILM-100 system comes with both USB and Ethernet control, making it easy to integrate into test systems.
