WaveTester Series test kits are ideal for the fiber optic professional who requires standards-based certification of multimode fiber links, including TIA-568, ISO 11801, and Ethernet.
When used with WaveSource series fiber optic light sources, the WaveTester’s Auto-testing feature allows user to test two wavelengths simultaneously, cutting testing time nearly in half. Up to 200 test results can be internally stored in the WaveTester, which can then be later downloaded to a PC running OWL Reporter software using the supplied USB cable. OWL’s userfriendly Link Wizard walks the user through the key parameters of the link under test – cabling standard, fiber type, fiber length, patch panels, splices, etc. – indicating a PASS or FAIL test result. Certification reports can then be printed, and data can be stored on hard disk for later retrieval
Also as an option, a visual fault locator (VFL) port can be installed in place of the charger port for an additional charge.
The Dual OWL is a multimode light source. Its output is temperature- stabilized for accurate measurements. Two connector options are available (ST and SC).
Features:
- Certification of multimode fiber links at 850 and 1300nm
- Data storage for up to 200 data points
- USB interface for continuous data logging, report printing, or data downloading
- OWL Reporter software for printing formatted fiber certification reports
- Measurement modes include absolute (for optical power) or relative (for optical loss)
- Selectively view, delete or resample data points
- Optional integrated visual fault locator (VFL; replaces the charger port)
Supported Cabling Standards:
- EIA/TIA 568-B ISO/IEC 11801 10-Gigabit Ethernet
- 1000Base-SX 1000Base-LX 100Base-FX
- 10Base-FB 10Base-FL FDDI
- ATM-155 ATM-622 Fibre Channel
- Token Ring
- Also supports 2 user-definable standards

Excellent Customer Service and Resolution
Tom personally reached out to me, took ownership of the situation, and worked to get my order resolved. He communicated with me directly, ensured the order was shipped, refunded the shipping charges, and provided a discount for the inconvenience.
What stands out most is the level of customer service and accountability shown throughout the process. It is refreshing to see a company stand behind its customers and make things right when an issue occurs.
I received my cable, the issue has been resolved, and I appreciate the effort Tom and his team put into correcting the situation. Based on how this was handled, I would not hesitate to do business with LANshack again.
Thank you, Tom, for your professionalism and commitment to customer service.

LANshack: Best custom CAT8 ethernet cable on the market!
I needed a custom 55 foot S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) CAT8 indoor ethernet cable for ethernet backhaul between two Eero mesh routers. I did tons of research (including Grok) and I came across LANshack.com. They have the thickest 23AWG wire in their custom CAT8 cable vs 26AWG on Amazon (lower number is thicker; 23AWG wire has roughly twice the cross-sectional area of 26AWG). Excellent price per foot, and this cable is thick! Very quick turnaround once you order from them. I am very pleased with LANshack and I will order from them again for future projects!
