Common Questions About the VeEX FX45 Optical Light Source and Broadband Power Meter

What is the VeEX FX45 used for?
The VeEX FX45 is a combination optical light source and broadband optical power meter used for insertion loss testing, fiber certification, and troubleshooting across PON, telecom, CATV, and LAN or WAN fiber networks.

How is the FX45 different from the FX40?
Unlike the FX40, which is a light source only, the FX45 combines both an optical light source and a broadband power meter in one handheld unit, allowing technicians to perform complete loss testing without separate instruments.

Who uses the FX45 OLTS?
The FX45 is commonly used by fiber technicians, installers, and network engineers who need a portable, all-in-one solution for fiber loss measurement, certification, and documentation.

How the FX45 Supports Accurate Fiber Certification

The VeEX FX45 Optical Light Source and Broadband Power Meter is designed to simplify fiber testing by combining OLS and OPM functionality in a single device. With dual wavelength output, wide dynamic range power measurement, and Wave ID detection, it enables fast, accurate insertion loss testing and reliable documentation during installation and maintenance.
