OFI-FTTx Active ONT Detector
The OFI-FTTx is a rugged, handheld optical fiber identifier designed to identify the
presence or absence of an active Optical Network Terminal (ONT) on FTTx F2 fibers at the
Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH). During a test the F2 fiber does not have to be removed from
service. Thus the OFI-FTTx can verify whether a splitter pigtail at the FDH is connected
to an active circuit before it is disconnected for fault location or re-use. The OFI-FTTx
can help verify FTTx network records and recover splitter pigtails and F2 fibers that are
connected at the FDH but, in fact, are available for new customers.
When applied to a splitter pigtail at the FDH, the OFI FTTx will report either that the ONT is
‘Active’ or ‘Not Detected’. Time to complete each test is typically one second.
The OFI-FTTx is compatible with 2mm jumper cable containing standard single-mode
fiber, such as SMF-28e ®, or bend insensitive fiber (BIF) with a 15mm bend radius
specification, such as AFL Bend Insensitive.
The OFI-FTTx is powered by two standard AA alkaline batteries, provides a low battery
indication, and can typically be operated 800 times before battery replacement is
necessary.
