Return Loss vs. length measurement of a MEMS-based
optical switch. The first two reflections are 5.0 mm apart. This
measurement was recorded with 20 micron spatial resolution.
The Luna OBR 5T-50 delivers fast, accurate
return loss, insertion loss, and length
measurements with 20 micron spatial resolution.

and event location
The Luna OBR 5T-50 is a fast, simple-to-use, low cost
precision reflectometer that measures the Insertion
Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL) distribution of passive
optical components and modules including PLCs,
optical cables, connectors, switches, couplers and
more. This instrument utilizes swept-wavelength
interferometry to measure backscattered light as a
function of distance with -125 dB sensitivity and 20
micron spatial resolution. The OBR 5T-50 reduces cost
and complexity, while increasing throughput by
measuring RL, IL and length with a single instrument.
