Integrated Optical Loss Test Sets for End-to-End Accuracy
Fiber Optical Test provides advanced OLTS systems that are easy to operate and built for rugged use in both lab and field settings.
Overview
Integrated Optical Loss Test Sets (OLTS) are essential for certifying the performance of fiber optic links by simultaneously measuring insertion loss (IL) and optical return loss (ORL). These systems combine precision light sources and power meters in a unified platform, enabling fast, and accurate testing of multimode and single-mode fibers. At Fiber Optical Test, we provide advanced OLTS systems that are easy to operate and built for rugged use in both lab and field settings. Headquartered in Grand Chute, WI, we’ve become a trusted leader in innovative fiber optic testing technologies. With a strong B2B presence throughout North America, we deliver solutions backed by expert guidance, product reliability, and customer-first support. Our OLTS solutions are developed with rigorous quality control to ensure they meet industry benchmarks while helping businesses optimize their fiber networks with smart, scalable tools.

Case Studies
U.S. Tier-1 Telecom Provider
A national telecom carrier deployed Fiber Optical Test’s OLTS to validate over 5,000 FTTH links during a statewide rollout. By using our cloud-connected platforms, they achieved 98.7% first-pass certification, cutting project time by 27% and reducing rework.
U.S. Hospital Network
A major Midwestern hospital group utilized our OLTS systems for testing high-density multimode cabling across five buildings. The system’s automatic reporting and mobile app integration enabled compliance with HIPAA IT infrastructure audits ahead of schedule.
Canadian University Campus
One of Canada’s top research universities selected Fiber Optical Test for fiber certification across a 50-building network. Using our modular OLTS platform, technicians completed loss testing during off-hours, achieving a 45% improvement in test coverage efficiency.
