Description:
EXFO’s AXS-100 Access OTDR combines the industry’s leading OTDR technology with power meter functionalities in one powerful handheld unit. Optimized for testing passive optical networks (PON) within FTTx architectures, it offers several wavelength configurations and a wide range of options, for first-class flexibility. Use it at the optical network terminal (ONT), drop terminal or fiber distribution hub (FDH) for FTTH distribution (F2) fiber characterization, troubleshooting and fault locating.
Increased fiber deployment within access networks brings new requirements and the need for highly efficient testing strategies. As most of the work is performed in ever-changing outside conditions (cold/warm/hot, day/night, etc.), working space is often limited and access technicians are getting acquainted with the latest FTTx technologies, choosing a simple, reliable testing tool is key.
The AXS-100 Access OTDR makes testing an FTTx network an easy task. Simply connect the fiber, press FasTrace, and view the result. This handheld unit provides unparalleled ease of use, even for technicians with little background in optical/OTDR testing. Its proprietary FTTx software package enables you to view all results at once and easily assess link status. Without further analysis, you can view fiber length data and detailed pass/fail status, and even verify the presence of macrobendings. |
