Attachment 1 - SALIENT CHARACTTERISTICS.pdf

This document is a salient characteristics specification for a Multifunction Fiber Optic Tester being sought by the Department of the Air Force Space Command at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The specification outlines the required technical capabilities including bi-directional link-loss testing, bidirectional loss and ORL (optical return loss) testing for up to three singlemode wavelengths, bidirectional loss testing at two multimode wavelengths, and fiber length testing capabilities for both multimode and single mode.

The required tester must feature automated functionality including one-touch testing of multiple SM wavelengths, a fully automated fiber inspection probe, and user-configurable pass/fail thresholds. Additional requirements include VFL and digital talk options, onboard diagnostics, PDF reporting capabilities, FastReporter 2 software compatibility, and a singlemode power meter range of 160 km. The device must be EF compliant, support multistandard fiber certification, offer plug-and-play optical options, and be compatible with cloud-based test asset management. The tester must also meet ANSI/TIA and ISO/IE standards for Built-in Encircled-Flux compliancy.
