AFL’s FlowScout OLS8 optical light source represents the next generation of smart optical light sources. Built on the legacy of AFL/Noyes OLS series optical light sources, the FlowScout OLS8 provides a stable and accurate light source for use in enterprise LAN, data center, PON, and broadband networks.

Intuitive operation: With a simple-to-use color touchscreen interface, fiber technicians can quickly set up, test, validate, and document installed fiber plant, as well as perform troubleshooting as needed.

Wave ID for reduced test time and errors: In the Wave ID mode, the OLS8 encodes each wavelength with a unique Wave ID code. When used with a Wave ID capable power meter, such as OPM8, the pair can test up to three wavelengths simultaneously reducing test time and eliminating wavelength-setting errors. The light source also offers CW mode (continuous output - no encoding) and supports test Tone generation (270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz) to assist in troubleshooting.

Flexible reporting: When used in conjunction with AFL’s FlowScout OPM8 power meter, test results may be transferred via Bluetooth to a mobile iOS or Android device running AFL’s free FlexApp software. FlexApp can automatically transfer results to AFL’s FlexReporter™ cloud for subsequent analysis, editing, and reports generation with FlexReports PC software. FlexApp users may also share transferred results via email or other cloud-sharing services. Illuminate your network and report in real-time using AFL’s FlowScout OLS8!
