Handheld Fiber Optic OTDR With Large Memory Capacity

Toronto, Canada – GAO Fiber Optics is offering its handheld fiber optic OTDR with FTTx fiber network testing. It is widely applied in the manufacture, construction and maintenance of fiber optic networks.

This portable fiber optic OTDR, model C0250003, is small in size, light in weight and has a splash proof design. It offers various operating modes such as quick auto measuring mode, manual testing mode, average testing mode and blind zone testing mode. This OTDR has convenient visible fault location (VFL) function. It also provides an extra-short event dead zone of only 1.6 m, a high resolution of 0.125 m as well as 65 k sampling points.

This OTDR provides 3 wavelengths for selection including 1310/1550 nm ± 20 nm, 1550/1625 nm ± 20 nm and 1310/1550/1490 nm ± 20 nm in single mode fiber applications. It allows a pulse width of 10 to 20480 ns and has a waveform storage capacity of up to 800. In addition, this portable OTDR saves and transfers test results to a computer via a USB interface for further analysis, reporting and printing via the included software.

This handheld optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) belongs to GAO’s family of OTDRs. A more advanced similar product in this line isHandheld Fiber Optic OTDR which is an innovative test instrument for telecommunication networks and is specially designed for fiber network construction and maintenance in FTTx, WAN and CATV systems. This line also includes Multi-Function Optical Time Domain Reflectometer which provides three print modes including standard mode (full-size, multipage OTDR report), compressed mode (one page report) and curves (four six or eight curves on one page).
