MaxTester 730C PON/METRO OTDR
OPTICAL PLUG-AND-PLAY OPTIONS
The MaxTester features plug-and-play optical options that can be purchased whenever you need them: at the time of your order
or later on. In either case, installation is a snap, and can be performed by the user without the need for any software update.
Optical Power Meter
A high-level power meter (GeX) that can measure up to 27 dBm, the highest in the industry. This is essential for hybrid fiber-coaxial
(HFC) networks or high-power signals. If used with an auto-lambda/auto-switching compatible light source, the power meter
automatically synchronizes on the same wavelength, thus avoiding any risk of mismatched measurement.

Visual Fault Locator (VFL)
The plug-and-play VFL easily identifies breaks, bends, faulty connectors and splices, in addition to other causes of signal loss. This
basic, yet essential troubleshooting tool should be part of every field technician’s toolbox. The VFL visually locates and detects
faults over distances of up to 5 km by creating a bright-red glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode
fibers (available with the Optical Power Meter only).
FIBER CONNECTOR INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATION–THE ESSENTIAL FIRST STEP BEFORE ANY OTDR TESTING
Taking the time to properly inspect a fiber-optic connector using an EXFO fiber inspection
probe can prevent a host of issues from arising further down the line, thus saving you time,
money and trouble. Moreover, using a fully automated solution with autofocus capabilities
will turn this critical inspection phase into a fast and hassle-free one-step process.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CONNECTOR OF YOUR OTDR/iOLM
IS ALSO CRITICAL?
The presence of a dirty connector at an OTDR port or launch cable can negatively
impact your test results, and even cause permanent damage during mating. Therefore,
it is critical to regularly inspect these connectors to ensure that they are free of any
contamination. Making inspection the first step of your OTDR best practices will maximize
the performances of your OTDR and your efficiency.
