NPL produces a range of traceable optical fibre transfer standard artefacts for use on customer test equipment. These artefacts are constructed and calibrated at NPL and with a few exceptions are UKAS accredited. In most cases they also conform to current standards (such as IEC, ITU and BIS).

Scientists at NPL have a strong background in developing capability in Telecommunications metrology and delivering a wide range of optical fibre characterisations. Other artefacts and combinations of fibres and connectors may also be available.

NPL works with customers who require absolute confidence in their measurements, supplying custom made instruments modified for specific customer applications.
