AFL recently launched the FLX380 FlexTester3 family, a small, lightweight, complete single-mode broadband network OTDR with integrated optical light source, power meter and visual fault locator (VFL). Delivering a combination of optical test functions, ease-of-use, portability and value, it verifies point-to-point and PON broadband optical network installations and network length, link loss and optical return loss (ORL).
The instrument troubleshoots live FTTx PON networks, and generates tones for positive fibre identification while visibly tracing or locating fibre bends or breaks using integrated VFL. It offers in- or out-of-service testing from a single port, easy troubleshooting using LinkMap with pass/fail, and reduced test time and setup errors with the intelligent source and power meter.The high-contrast display is easily viewed in direct sunlight, and continuous battery operation is possible for more than 12 hours. The OTDR’s instant-on capability means it is ready to test in less than 5 seconds.
The FlexTester3 family is offered in four models for different applications:
• FLX380-304: verify both in-service (live) and out-of-service FTTx networks from a single port. Includes 1310/1550/1650 nm live PON OTDR with integrated PON power meter.
• FLX380-303: Similar to FLX380-304, but with 1310/1550/1625 nm live PON OTDR.
• FLX380-302: Complete out-of-service testing at all FTTx PON wavelengths (1310/1490/1550 nm).
• FLX380-300: Lowest cost, high-performance, all-in-one 1310/1550 nm OTDR for out-of-service installation testing or troubleshooting both FTTx PON and point-to-point networks.
