Product Overview
The ideal construction OTDRs for everyday field testing in any access network. With an iOLM application for both singlemode and multimode testing, it’s the most automated and intelligent troubleshooting tool for FTTA, LAN and data centers.
| Key Features |
| Dynamic range of up to 36 dB |
| Event dead zone as low as 0.8 meter |
| Combined singlemode/multimode wavelengths |
| EF ready: use with external launch mode conditioner for EF-compliant multimode results |
| Live fiber testing at 1625 nm |
| iOLM ready: one-touch multiple acquisitions, with clear go/no-go results presented in a straightforward visual format |
| Benefits | |
| Real-Time Averaging: | Activates the OTDR laser in continuous shooting mode, the trace refreshes in real time and allows to monitor the fiber for a sudden change. Perfect for a quick overview of the fiber under test. |
| Automode: | Used as a discovery mode, this feature automatically adjusts the distance range and the pulse width in function of the link under test. It is recommended to adjust the parameters to perform additional measurements to locate other events. |
| Zoom Tools: | Zoom and center to facilitate the analysis of your fibers. Draw a window around the area of interest and center in the screen quicker. |
| Set Parameters On The Fly: | Dynamically change OTDR settings for the ongoing acquisition without stopping or returning to submenus. |
| Microbend Finder: | This built-in feature enables the unit to automatically locate and identify macrobends, no need to spend further time analyzing the traces. |
| Bidirectional Analysis: | Via Fast Reporter 2 Data Post-Processing Software. Recommended to ensure true splice characterization, bidirectional analysis combines results from both directions to provide an average loss for each event. For a more complete event characterization, use iOLM and benefit from maximum resolution on both directions (multiple pulse widths at multiple wavelengths), as well as a consolidated view |
| Data Center Cable Certification (iCERT) | iCERT option turns the iOLM into an intelligent tier-2 certifier with automated pass/fail thresholds for SM/MM cables, helping fiber installers to certify or troubleshoot any enterprise or datacenter network according to the recognized international standards (including TIA-568, ISO 11801). |
| Applications |
| Access network testing |
| LAN/WAN characterization |
| Private networks |
| Data centers |
| Fronthaul/backhaul (FTTA, FTTT, remote radio heads, DAS and small cells) |
