Product Overview

Dimension Multifiber IRL meter uses a high stability laser source and a high precision optical power meter for mandrel-free return loss testing 

and high-speed insertion loss testing. The dual-wavelength loss test time is less than 0.6s, and the minimum loss detection can be achieved -80dB.

Includes 6 testing wavelengths for single mode and multiple mode (multiple mode :850nm, 1300nm, single mode :1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm).

The optimized integrating sphere can measure the loss of a dense multi-core MTP/MPO connector as well as the loss of a duplex-LC device. 

RLM fast and accurate measurement function make it an ideal tool for improving production efficiency and quality control.

Main applications

Fiber patchcord and connector performance test
Other optical passive device performance test


Platform + module design, high scalability

Dimension's 11-slot OMEGA universal optical test platform provides a whole set optical test solution, which is compatible with a wide range of functional test modules such as IRL test module. With hot swappable, programmable, and scalable, easy to maintain&manage, with low overall cost. 

 Customers can choose single-mode RLM module + multi-mode RLM module and matching optical switch in a single OEMGA chassis according to their own needs (the same chassis can achieve at most 24-core single-mode + multi-mode RLM integration), thereby achieving lower costs Single-mode and multi-mode integrated test solutions.


RL mandrel-free test, dual wavelength test speed less than 12s(MPO12)

Based on the principle of optical time domain reflection(OTDR) detection, the return loss test is realized without winding. The integrated design test module can realize insertion loss and return loss testing simultaneously. Using high speed sampling circuit and algorithm optimization, the speed of dual wave-lenath test is less than 8s (in the fast test mode, the MPO12 single-mode dual-wavelength test speed is ess than 7.2s, and the multi-mode dual-wavelength test speed is less than 8s)

RL minimum detectable down to -80dB(single mode), Minimum measuring fiber length 0.7 m

Using the dimension self-developed high-sensitivity detection circuit and the optimized software algo- rithm, RL can achieve the detection of -80dB(single mode), which can meet the detection reguirements of high-performance single mode patchcord (SM/APC).


Rich interchangeable, high reliability detector adapter

lo meet the needs of customers, dimension has developed a series of interchangeable, high reliabil-ity detector adapter that are flexible and conve-nient to use.Optimized integrating sphere,com-patible with MPO/ duplex LC adapters, no need to repeatedly plug and plug in one test.

Note: RL test model A/C supports dual laser wavelength. 

Two-digit code epresents two laser wavelengths. Customers can choose laser wavelength or customized laser wavelength in the list.

RLM module can support 4 single-mode wavelengths (red light is not included in the four wavelengths), and the selection code can be followed by the same, 

such as selecting red light and 1310, 1550, 1625 as RLM-140124A-1FA.
