Common Questions About the VeEX FX40 Optical Light Source
What is the VeEX FX40 used for?
The VeEX FX40 is an optical light source used for insertion loss testing, fiber certification, and troubleshooting when paired with a compatible optical power meter.
Is the FX40 a power meter?
No. The FX40 is a light source only. It generates stable optical signals but does not measure power levels on its own. A separate optical power meter is required for loss measurements.
Who uses the FX40 optical light source?
The FX40 is commonly used by fiber technicians, installers, and network engineers performing fiber testing on PON, telecom, CATV, and LAN or WAN networks.
How the FX40 Supports Accurate Fiber Loss Testing
The VeEX FX40 Optical Light Source provides stable dual wavelength output for reliable insertion loss testing across singlemode and multimode fiber networks. When paired with a compatible power meter, it allows technicians to accurately verify fiber performance, document results, and generate reports during installation and maintenance.
