Modular fibre-optic test system

14 June 2017 Test & Measurement

AFL has launched the Rogue cB1 Compact Base, a fastest, flexible fibre OLTS (optical loss test set) and OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) testing platform. Using state-of-the-art technology, each module is optimised to produce the most accurate results in the shortest amount of time.

Rogue hardware is highly interchangeable and users can maximise their capital expenditure with building blocks that include a modular carrier and AFL self-contained base, allowing for customised configuration, mix and match elements, and also the inclusion of smart devices on hand. The chassis can accommodate various interchangeable fibre testing modules, namely OLTS and OTDR modules, maximised for the FTTX market.

Software applications have been separated from the hardware so that users can invest in the application-specific tests they really need, while having a consistent experience across all platforms. Because Rogue is an open system, there is also the option of designing customised apps or integrating third-party software. Rogue works seamlessly with aeRos so users can integrate every aspect of the workflow, set up jobs and equipment before shipping, interact with technicians in real time, collect and analyse data in the cloud and issue reports more efficiently.

Rogue features real-time monitoring of results and job progress, and automatic sync of test configurations and results; USB host and function ports; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity; and >8 hours Li-ion battery or AC power. Applications include OLTS/Tier1 certification, OTDR testing, use in combination with the Multi-Fibre Switch to automatically test MPO connected fibres and pairing with FOCIS Flex for a complete inspection solution.
