MaxTester 730C PON/metro OTDR
Turning traditional OTDR testing into clear, automated, first-time-right results for technicians of any skill level.
OTDR testing comes with
its load of challenges...
How does it work?
Three ways to benefit from the iOLM
In response to these challenges, EXFO developed a better way to test fiber optics: The iOLM is an OTDR-based
application designed to simplify OTDR testing by eliminating the need to configure parameters, and/or analyze and interpret multiple
complex OTDR traces. Its advanced algorithms dynamically define the testing parameters, as well as the number of acquisitions
that best fit the network under test. By correlating multipulse widths on multiple wavelengths, the iOLM locates and identifies
faults with maximum resolution—all at the push of a single button.
iOLM features value pack and options
In addition to the standard iOLM feature set, you can select added-value features as part of the Advanced packages or standalone
options. Please refer to the iOLM specification sheet for the complete and most recent description of these features.
