Used EXFO VCS 20A #191999 for sale

EXFO VCS 20A is a versatile and powerful test equipment used for characterizing a variety of physical layer aspects of optical networks, such as transmission loss, optical power and chromatic dispersion. VCS 20A is an automated solution for optical component evaluation, component and component-level testing, and system-level evaluation, and is capable of performing a wide range of tests, including OTDR, bidirectional optical switching, deadzone compensation, component analysis and component real-time test. EXFO VCS 20A can be used as a powerful long-term testing tool, as it has an internal, heated environmental chamber that allows the testing to be conducted in conditions as low as -40°C and as high as +105°C. This gives it superior temperature, vibration and thermal shock performance, providing reliable test results even in tough physical environments. Its rugged design makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications and for use in harsher test conditions. VCS 20A has a user-friendly software interface allowing for real-time data gathering, controlling and analyzing. It has a highly expandable architecture with 4 different boards, one for optical switch, OTDR, component analysis and component testing. The software includes an advanced report generator for its test results, which is capable of performing multiple tests on the same fiber link. It also includes a built-in controller for optical components, which simplifies the setup, configuration and testing of components before they are integrated into their system. EXFO VCS 20A is capable of testing both singlemode and multimode fiber networks, using standard optical wavelength ranging from 0.13 to 2.50 μm. It is equipped with two universal power lasers, a polarized laser source (PLS) and a Variable Stress Source (VSS) capable of forcing stress or birefringence in cables or components. In addition, it has a wide range of measurements including insertion loss, return loss, optical dead zones in singlemode and analytical measurement functions including phase shift measurements, jitter measurements and reflection/transmission measurements. VCS 20A brings considerable cost savings when used in large-scale testing. It features powerful automation features, allowing for more effective use of operator time. Furthermore, EXFO VCS 20A offers comprehensive trace recording and analysis which allows for more detailed troubleshooting, saving time and effort in installations. VCS 20A is the perfect option for testing optical networks, providing accurate and reliable performance. Its robust design, intuitive user-interface and capabilities make it the perfect choice for characterizing physical layer aspects in today's optical networks.
