C850 Compact QUAD OTDR with QUAD OLS and OPM
The Noyes C850 from AFL Telecommunications is a full-featured QUAD OTDR in a compact
case with a large transflective touch screen display suitable for both indoor and outdoor
operation. The C850 offers built-in auto test functionality when used with another C850
or the C840 QUAD Certification Tester. The C850 features single-mode and multimode
OTDR capabilities, both single-mode and multimode Optical Light Sources (OLS), Visual
Fault Locator (VFL, 650 nm), and an Optical Power Meter (OPM). As an OTDR, the C850
supports Full Auto, Expert (manual) and Real-Time test modes, simultaneous dual and
single wavelength testing, and Event and Pass/Fail analysis based on default or user-
defined thresholds.
Two C850s or a C840 Tester and C850 can be used together to perform Tier 1 dual
wavelength MM (850/1300 nm) and SM (1310/1550 nm) auto tests of one or two fibers in
one or both directions as well as measure both loss and length of the fibers and compare
to industry standards (TIA/ISO/EN), applications and user-defined thresholds values to
certify the fibers. The user may test two fibers at two wavelengths bi-directionally and
store the results into the main unit. Featuring rich file naming, the Job setup wizard allows
the user to define both the cable and fiber end locations, creating easily identifiable trace
files, which are managed into Job and Cable folders.
