Take a look at the different applications:
 
- The OS405 laser source is, with a range of 635nm, one of the most advanced visual fault locator on the market.
- The OS417 light source is designed for plastic, large core multimode fibers.
- The OS420 light source is very useful at premises, campus cabling networks with multimode fiber and single fiber under 5 kilometers.
- If an optical source for gigabit Ethernet or fiber channel is needed, the OS420 VSCEL laser/light source is necessary.
- The OS430 Laser source is for single-mode fibers in the outside plant environment where long wavelengths are used.

Different implementations, different specifications!

 
The only equal features are the compact handheld enclosure size and the power supply of 2 AA batteries or AC power adapter. So there are a lot of differences between the specifications of the Optical Sources. Take a look at the following summary:
- The wavelengths varieties from 665/850 at the OS417 to 1320/1550 at the OS430.
- All sources have a stability per hour of less then 0.5dB, except of the OS420 VSCEL with a stability of less then 0.1dB per hour.
- Different connector who are usable at the different equips. The connectors are ST, SC, FC, Modular 665, ST 850, FC 850 and ST 1300.
