MaxTester 730C PON/METRO OTDR
THE HANDHELD OTDR... REINVENTED.
The MAX-700B/C Series is the first tablet-inspired OTDR line that is handy, lightweight and rugged enough for any outside plant
environment. With a 7-inch, outdoor-enhanced touchscreen–the most efficient handheld display in the industry–it delivers an
unprecedented user experience. Its intuitive Windows-like GUI ensures a fast learning curve. Plus, its new and improved OTDR 2
environment offers icon-based functions, instant boot-up, automatic macrobend finders as well as improved auto and real-time modes.
The Max-700B/C Series is a line of genuine high-performance OTDRs from the world’s leading manufacturer. It delivers EXFO’s
tried and true OTDR quality and accuracy along with the best optical performance for right-first-time results, every time.
The amazing 12-hour battery life will never let a technician down, and the plug-and-play hardware options, like the VFL, power
meter and USB tools, make every technician’s job easier.
Most importantly, the Max-700B/C Series is finally bringing the iOLM, an intelligent OTDR-based application, to the handheld
market. This advanced software turns even the most complex trace analysis into a simple, one-touch task.
Ultimately, the Max-700B/C Series is small enough to fit in your hand and big enough to fit all your needs!
THE ENTRY-LEVEL SOLUTION DESIGNED FOR ALL YOUR TESTING NEEDS
The MAX-730C PON/METRO OTDR is optimized to test through optical splitters up to 1x128, ensuring complete end-to-end
FTTH characterization. The 1625-nm or 1650-nm, out-of-band, live testing port enables the efficient troubleshooting of active
networks without affecting the signal of other clients. Plus, the high dynamic range makes it suitable for metro point-to-point testing.
Other models available:
›
MAX-715B short access and FTTx last-mile installation and troubleshooting
›
MAX-720C LAN/WAN access OTDR—optimized for multimode and singlemode access network construction and troubleshooting
LOOKING FOR ICON-BASED MAPPING?
Linear View (Included on All EXFO OTDRs)
Available on our OTDRs since 2006, linear view simplifies interpretation of an OTDR trace by displaying icons in a linear way
for each wavelength. This view converts the graph data points obtained from a traditional single pulse trace into reflective or
non-reflective icons. With applied pass/fail thresholds, it becomes easier to pinpoint faults on your link.
This improved linear view offers you the flexibility to display
both the OTDR graph and its linear view without having to
perform a toggle to analyze your fiber link.
Although this linear view simplifies OTDR interpretation
of a single pulse-width trace, the user must still set the
OTDR parameters. In addition, multiple traces must often
be performed in order to fully characterize the fiber links.
See the section below to learn about how the iOLM can
perform this automatically and with more accurate results.
