Fibre Optics Calibration

HK Calibration Technologies Pty Ltd’s (HKCT) fibre optic test and measurement laboratory covers all aspects of measuring and characterization of fibre optic communications infrastructure.

Fibre optic test instrument engineers and technicians use highly sophisticated tools. The related costs can be efficiently handled by the engineer’s management who also oversee the logistics of getting such equipment onsite. For those engineers who prefer to own their equipment, HKCT has a good selection of used fiber optic test equipment available for sale or hire.

HKCT calibrates and services optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDR). Some of the Australian Standards that are HKCT’s technicians adhere to perform related calibrations include:

  • AS 1024-1971Direct recording electrical measuring instruments and their accessories
  • AS 1042-1973 Direct – acting indicating electrical measuring instruments and their accessories
  • AS/NZS ISO 10012:2004 Metrology confirmation system for measurement equipment
  • AS 1284.1-2004 Electricity metering - General purpose induction watt-hour meters
  • AS 1284.11-1995 Electricity metering - Single-phase multifunction watt-hour meters
  • AS/NZS 1284.13:2002 Electricity metering - In-service compliance testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fibre optics calibration involves verifying and adjusting the performance of optical instruments used in fibre optic communication systems. This ensures accurate measurements of light signals, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of data transmission over optical fibres.

Regular calibration ensures that fibre optic testing equipment provides accurate readings, which is crucial for diagnosing issues, maintaining system performance, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. It helps in identifying faults like signal loss or dispersion in fibre networks.

Instruments such as optical power meters, optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), light sources, and fibre optic testers require calibration. These tools are essential for assessing the performance and health of fibre optic networks.

Calibration frequency depends on usage intensity and manufacturer recommendations. Typically, annual calibration is advised to ensure ongoing accuracy and reliability of measurements, especially in critical communication infrastructure.

Industries such as telecommunications, data centres, healthcare, and research institutions rely on fibre optic networks. Regular calibration ensures optimal performance and compliance with stringent industry standards in these sectors.
