As fiber optic installations have become more and more common, the need for fast, easy and reliable fiber testing has become increasingly important. Gone are the days when an engineer had to carry around heavy and bulky equipment to test fiber optic cables. NOYES has launched the world’s first hand-held OTDR!
M100 Handheld OTDR
The new Noyes M100 OTDR is the world’s first handheld, single-mode and multimode, four-wavelength Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) with integrated VFL (visual fault locator). Using "PDA" technology the M100 reaches a new level of value and portability. By combining a simple user interface with the features of a mini-OTDR in a "micro" package, the M100 is ideal for premises network Tier 2 fiber link certification and fault-location measurements including: connection loss and reflectance, splice loss, and fiber loss slope (attenuation rate). The M100 is also suited for broadband service providers looking for a highly portable OTDR to document and trouble-shoot fiber links in their access and FTTx (fiber to the home/curb/office) networks.
Both the multimode and single-mode OTDR ports are equipped with tool-free, switchable adapter mounts. ST, SC, and FC adapters are provided. The VFL port is equipped with a universal adapter that accepts any standard 2.5 mm connector.
Features:
- Hand-held size and < 2.7 lb (1.2 kg)
- 850/1300/1310/1550 nm
- Integrated Visual Fault Locator (650 nm)
- Tool-free, switchable adapters (ST/SC/FC)
- Bellcore (GR-196) file format
- Compact Flash™ memory card
- PC software for trace analysis and printing
- Active-matrix color display
Applications:
- Premises network "Tier 2" certification
- Broadband/access network testing
- Baseline tracing
- Fault-location
- Connection loss and reflectance
Splice verification
Noyes Fiber Systems, a division of AFL Telecommunications, manufactures a complete line of fiber optic test equipment for measuring, maintaining and documenting the performance of fiber optic networks.
