Tablet-inspired OTDR addresses testing challenges
EXFO has unveiled a tablet-inspired MaxTester 700B OTDR Series, which is redefining handheld fibre testers by making frontline OTDR field testing faster and more accessible. This series addresses the challenges to deploy more fibre faster, and with limited resources and training time.
The new tester’s tablet-inspired design features a large 7in., outdoor-enhanced touchscreen - the largest in the industry for a handheld device, making it small enough to fit in one hand, yet large enough to provide clear, squint-free presentation of results. It also features an icon-based GUI in a Windows-like environment that can be easily mastered right from the outset. It is powered by a full-day, 12-hour rechargeable battery.
The MaxTester series is comprised of three models to cover any frontline fibre test application, from last-mile to access and FTTH/PON. The OTDRs replace EXFO's AXS-100/110 OTDR Series, in turn bringing an advanced iOLM application to the handheld market. The iOLM OTDR-based application is powered by Link-Award technology, which combines an intelligent and dynamic multipulse approach with multiple wavelengths - all in a single link view that frees technicians from having to perform complex OTDR analysis.
"These solutions are a direct response to customer feedback, reflecting their need for compact, budget-friendly, powerful, yet intuitive testing tools inspired by tablets and smartphones," said Étienne Gagnon, Vice-President of EXFO's Test and Measurement Division
