Fiber optic fushion splicers; NIST calibration or not?

Leave a reply

Is the theory that we can verify the manufacturer’s claims of insertion loss on a fiber splice with OPM’s and OTDR’s valid?

I am looking for splicer manufacturers/distributors, to participate in a series of tests that would validate the theory, that a NIST traceable calibration/verification on the Insertion loss of a fiber splice is sound. If you have a demo unit, and want to be included, email me or call… Jon Winchester, jwinchester@custom-cal.com 541.245.3992

Custom-Calibration Assist Nistica To Meet ISO Requirements

In order to meet?Nistica immediate needs Custom-Calibrations established a Custom Response Team involving Randy Yousey, Tom Gadosky, Bill Pazik,?Peter Kostoulas, Irina Sakhartchouk and Bob Adamson.

Examples of the team?s accomplishments include:

  • Creating quotes for sixty-five items on site and identifying equipment requiring calibration.
  • Custom-Cal was able to accommodate and meet Nistica?s three day expedited calibration needs with our on-site services supplemented with pickup and delivery services.
  • The team calibrated complex optical gear such as: SWS 15107, SWS15101, and SWS20006 systems?on-site within the specified time constraints. Custom-Cal personalized responses to support Nistica?s work status requirements via email?and telephone communication.
  • ?Custom-Cal?also provided the customer with an online “My Data System” which allows calibration certificates to be viewed online, as well as assistance in recalling equipment?for sequent calibration.
