Product Overview
The perfect tool for field technicians who need to seamlessly characterize splitters in PON FTTx and MDU applications.
| Key Features |
| Test through high-port-count splitters (up to 1x128) |
| Singlemode port for in-service troubleshooting with standard in-line OPM |
| Dynamic range of up to 39 dB |
| Short acquisition time to speed up deployment process |
| EXFO Connect-compatible: automated asset management; data goes through the cloud and into a dynamic database |
| 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. |
| Macrobend 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 FastReporter 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. |

APC Connectors: To maximize the performance of your OTDR, EXFO recommends using APC connectors. These connectors generate lower reflectance, which is a critical parameter that affects performance, particularly dead zones. APC connectors provide better performances than UPC connectors, thereby improving testing efficiency
