M700 Compact Single-mode OTDR
Continued on the next page
The Noyes M700 from AFL Telecommunications is a compact,
full-featured, single-mode OTDR that includes an integrated Visual
Fault Locator (VFL), an Optical Power Meter (OPM) capable of
displaying up to three wavelengths simultaneously, and a large
transflective touch screen display suitable for both indoor and
outdoor operation.
The M700 OTDR supports Real-Time, Full-Auto, and Expert
(manual) modes, precision event analysis, dual-wavelength testing,
rich file naming, and an intuitive job set-up functionality. In addition
to OTDR event analysis, pass/fail acceptance values can be set to
alert the test operator of failing or marginal events. Using one of
the Least Squares Approximation (LSA) loss methods, events may
be added or deleted manually.
Thousands of OTDR and OPM test results can be stored internally
or on the supplied USB drive, and are transferable via a USB cable
or drive to a computer for viewing, printing and analyzing with
supplied Windows® compatible software. Saved OPM loss values
for a cable in one or two directions can be displayed in a table on
the M700 for evaluation and comparison.
With short dead zones, a dynamic range of 38 dB, and greater
than 8-hour battery life during continuous testing, the M700 is
perfect for testing optical fibers in service provider metro areas.
