FTB-720C—LAN/WAN Access OTDR
Note
a. This software option is only available if you select the iOLM or Oi application.
LOADED WITH FEATURES TO BOOST YOUR EFFICIENCY
Real-Time Averaging
Activates the OTDR laser in continuous shooting mode, the trace refreshes in real time and allows to monitor the fiber for a
sudden change. Perfect for a quick overview of the fiber under test.
Automode
Used as a discovery mode, this feature automatically adjusts the distance range and the pulse width in function of the link
under test. It is recommended to adjust the parameters to perform additional measurements to locate other events.
Zoom Tools
Zoom and center to facilitate the analysis of your fibers. Draw a window around the area of interest and center in the
screen quicker.
Set Parameters On The Fly
Dynamically change OTDR settings for the ongoing acquisition without stopping or returning to submenus.
Macrobend Finder
This built-in feature enables the unit to automatically locate and identify macrobends, no need to spend further time analyzing
the traces.
BIDIR.
Bidirectional Analysis (Via FastReporter 2 Data Post-Processing Software)
Recommended to ensure true splice characterization, bidirectional analysis combines results from both directions to provide an
average loss for each event. For a more complete event characterization, use intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM) and benefit
from maximum resolution on both directions (multiple pulse widths at multiple wavelengths) as well as a consolidated view.
C
Data Center Cable Certification (iCERT
a
)
iCERT option turns the iOLM into an intelligent tier-2 certifier with automated pass/fail thresholds for SM/MM cables, helping
fiber installers to certify or troubleshoot any enterprise or datacenter network according to the recognized international
standards (including TIA-568, ISO 11801).
