Products: Arden FGC-G Optical fiber geometric parameter tester

The FGC-G Fiber Optic Geometry Test System provides high-speed automated measurement of fiber end-face geometry. It uses the Reference Test Method (RTM): video grayscale technique described in Appendix B of standard IEC-60793-1-20.

Dark field of view illumination

Measurement of special fibers such as octagonal fibers and double-clad fibers

Dark field illumination method gives a clear image of the fiber end face

Standards compliant - very confident in its accuracy

Highly repeatable geometric measurements in a short period of time

Traceable calibration

Wide range of fiber grippers including Arden, Fujikura, FITEL, Sumitomo, etc.

Built-in LEDs meet uniform injection conditions for optical core testing
