Santec Canada Corporation releases new insertion loss and return loss meter.

Ottawa, Canada – May 1, 2026 – Santec Canada Corporation is excited to introduce the improved Return Loss Meter (RLM-110). Building on the proven performance of the RLM-100, the RLM-110 adds a new “Ultra-fast” mode for both single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM).

Maintaining the same high level of accuracy as other premium testing solutions, this upgraded model operates three times faster than comparable alternatives. It measures insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) for a 12-fiber cable assembly at two wavelengths in under 20 seconds. “Standard” mode offers superior accuracy to competitors, with a SM RL measurement capability up to 85 dB.

The multimode variant will be released in the coming months. It will also benefit from improved accuracy to measure RL up to 60 dB, meeting the increasing demand for testing multimode APC assemblies.

Choose the remote-head integrating sphere and polarity detector option for the complete multifiber test station. The RLM-110 allows for testing assemblies such as MPO or duplex LC in a single step, without disconnecting your device. Evaluate 12 fibers polarity, IL and RL at two wavelengths in under 25 seconds.

Features:

• Most accurate return loss meter in its class
• New “Ultra-fast” mode: 3x faster than premium test solutions with the same accuracy
• Self-calibration
• Wireless remote-head integrating sphere detector (RD-S)
• Remote-head integrating sphere and polarity detector (RD-SP)
• Free Cable Assembly software with database support

The single-mode RLM-110 is available now while the multimode version will be released in the coming months. Please inquire with the local sales office, or on Santec’s website inst.santec.com.
