TOOLS
OTDR
The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a powerful testing and troubleshooting instrument designed for the installation, certification, and maintenance of fiber optic networks. It analyzes the integrity of fiber cables by measuring backscattered and reflected signals, providing detailed information about fiber length, loss, splices, bends, and faults.
Features & Benefits
High-Precision Testing – Accurately measures fiber length, optical loss, splice loss, and connector reflection.
Fault Location Detection – Quickly identifies breaks, bends, and performance issues along the fiber link.
Multiple Wavelengths – Supports testing at standard telecom wavelengths (1310 nm, 1550 nm, and optional 1625 nm).
Event Trace & Graphical Display – Provides easy-to-read trace results for in-depth fiber analysis.
Large Storage Capacity – Saves thousands of test results with USB/PC connectivity for data transfer.
Pass/Fail Analysis – User-defined thresholds for quick evaluation of fiber performance.
Portable & Rugged Design – Lightweight, shock-resistant housing built for field environments.
Long Battery Life – Rechargeable battery supports extended testing sessions.
User-Friendly Interface – Intuitive menus, touch screen (in some models), and auto-test functionality.
Applications
FTTH and FTTx network installation & verification
Telecom, CATV, and data center fiber testing
Fiber optic link certification and acceptance testing
Locating fiber breaks, bends, or poor splices
Preventive maintenance and troubleshooting
