Multifunction OTDR

27 January 2016 Test & Measurement

Integrated OTDR and optical power meter (OPM) functionality and inspection capability reduce setup and testing time and simplify documentation, thereby reducing testing and administration costs.

With single-mode dynamic ranges of up to 34 dB and multimode dynamic ranges of 28 dB, the instrument is ideal for testing, troubleshooting and documenting enterprise, LAN/WAN, campus and military single-mode and multimode (62,5 and 50 micron) fibre networks.

The M210e supports visual inspection per IEC 61300-3-5 visual inspection practices using an AFL DFS1 Digital FibreScope, providing the user the ability to view and document connector end-face images with their OTDR traces and loss/power measurements.

The device’s ‘Touch and Test’ technology supports users of all levels through its selection of usage modes: full, auto, auto-once, expert and real-time. Top menu level touchscreen access to major test modes allows users to test networks faster. The M210e provides one-touch access to OTDR and OPM test modes and DFS inspection mode.

Thousands of test results may be stored internally or on the supplied USB drive, and are transferable via USB cable or USB drive to a computer for viewing, printing and analysing with the supplied Windows compatible software – TRM (Test Results Manager). Acceptance reports generated using TRM can include OTDR traces with summary and event information, with or without pass/fail indication, event maps, loss/power measurement tables and end-face images.

The M210e is offered in three optical models: multimode, single-mode and combined as a QUAD multimode/single-mode. The OTDR is available in a soft case with carry handle and shoulder strap, or in a compact, rugged transit case.
