NOYES OTDR OFL280 OTDR FlexTester

NOYES OFL280 FlexTester offers an unmatched combination of fiber test functions, ease-of-use, portability, and value.  All NOYES OTDR OFL280 OTDR FlexTester models include:

  • Single-mode, 1310/1550 nm OTDR with standard and PON modes
  • Optical Power Meter (OPM)
  • Optical Light Source (OLS)
  • Visual Fault Locator(VFL)
  • TRM 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software

NOYES OTDR OFL280 OTDR FlexTesters are ideal for use in the outside plant environment – standard features include:

  • Color display easily viewed in both direct sunlight and dimly lit areas
  • Ten (10) hours continuous operation from Li-Ion battery
  • Rugged, but light weight at only 0.8 kg (1.7 lb)
  • Native language support in over a dozen languages

MODELS

OFL280-100 provides the best balance of functions and value for many users.  Dual-wavelength testing at 1310 and 1550 nm is normally sufficient to certify point-to-point or FTTx (PON) networks and detect macro bends.

OFL280-103 triple-wavelength model adds ServiceSafe™ live fiber detection with integrated PON Power Meter. Configuration is simple with the following functions provided from a single test port:

  • Certify dark PON and point-to-point networks at 1310/1550 nm
  • Perform high-resolution fault-location of dark or live FTTx PONs at 1625 nm
  • Measure FTTx power levels at 1490 and 1550 nm

OFL280-101 and OFL280-102 models offer 1310/1550 and either 1625 nm or 1490 nm test capability, respectively.

AFL’s exclusive Wave ID source and power meter feature is provided in all models. With Wave ID, the power meter automatically synchronizes its wavelength to that sent by the Wave ID source at the other end of the fiber. Test time is significantly reduced, and wavelength setup errors (mismatch between source and power meter) are eliminated.

The NOYES OTDR OFL280 OTDR FlexTester user interface is equally suitable for both novice and expert users, and features a top-down menu structure that is easy to learn and efficient to use.

OTDR test results may be saved as .SOR files, which can be transferred to a PC for viewing, printing, and analysis using supplied Windows® compatible TRM 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software.  TRM can also be used to view OPM and FOCIS connector inspection results and integrate them into test reports.
Advanced analysis and reporting capabiities, including macro-bend detection and bi-directional trace averaging, are available by upgrading to TRM 2.0 Advanced.

NOYES OTDR CS260 OTDR Contractor Series Handheld Troubleshooting OTDRs

NOYES OTDR CS260 OTDR Contractor Series handheld OTDRs enable cost-effective troubleshooting of FTTx PONs and point-to-point metro/access networks.  Two models are offered:
CS260-10 FTTx PON Activation and Troubleshooting OTDR:  1625 nm Live PON OTDR providing 35 dB dynamic range, best-in-class 0.8 m event and 3.5 m attenuation dead zones, integrated PON power meter and Visual Fault Locator (VFL).
CS260-20 Metro/Access Troubleshooting OTDR:  1310/1550 nm OTDR with 30 dB dynamic range, 0.8 m event and 3.5 m attenuation dead zones plus integrated Visual Fault Locator.
The CS260-10 and CS260-20 are purpose-built for optical network activation and troubleshooting tasks. With its integrated PON power meter, the CS260-10 enables verification of downstream 1490 and/or 1550 nm power levels at an FTTx PON ONU or ONT. If downstream signals are absent or power is too low, the CS260-10’s 1625 nm Live PON OTDR allows a technician to scan the network from the ONU/ONT or a network access point to locate fiber faults such as macro-bends, breaks, poor splices and dirty or damaged connectors. The live PON OTDR utilizes an out-of-band 1625 nm wavelength to prevent disrupting the 1310, 1490 and 1550 nm signals present on an in-service FTTx PON.
The CS260-20 is designed to troubleshoot point-to-point metro/access networks operating in the 1310 and/or 1550 nm wavelength regions. Its short dead zones enable precise location of fiber faults. With 30 dB dynamic range, the CS260-20 can locate faults in networks up to 60 km (40 miles) in length.
CS260s are derivatives of AFL’s popular OFL280 and FLX380 FlexTester families, offering the same ease-of-use, high-contrast indoor/outdoor display and over 12 hours of continuous battery operation. Both models also include an integrated VFL (visible red laser) designed to visually pinpoint the location of macro-bends or breaks in splice closures, access terminals and splitter cabinets.
Over 1000 OTDR test results may be saved internally in industry-standard .SOR file format.  Stored OTDR results may be transferred to PC via USB port for viewing, analysis, and professional report generation using included Windows® compatible TRM® 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software.  Advanced analysis and reporting capabilities – including macro-bend detection and bi-directional trace averaging – are available by upgrading to TRM 2.0 Advanced Test Results Manager.
