OFL 200 Single-mode OTDR
OFL 200 Single-mode OTDR
The OFL 200 OTDR sets new standards for size, weight, ease-of-use, and value
in a telco/broadband OTDR. Smaller than many optical loss test sets, the
OFL 200 has the range, features, and price to make it the perfect OTDR for
outside plant crews installing and maintaining optical
fiber cables in broadband, metro, access, and FTTH networks.Unlike
‘optical fault locators’, which detect only reflective
events, the OFL 200 is a true OTDR, which detects fiber backscatter
as well as fresnel reflections. Thus, the OFL 200 can locate reflective
and non-reflective breaks, including those caused by crushed fibers.
In addition, the OFL 200 provides an integrated 650 nm visual fault locator
(VFL) for short-distance troubleshooting and fiber tracing.In its [Full
Auto] mode, the OFL 200 measures fiber length and sets range, pulse
width, and averaging time automatically. [Full Auto] mode is ideal for operators
not familiar with OTDRs. [Semi Auto] mode allows the user to set range while
the OFL 200 sets all other parameters. [Manual] mode is available for experienced
users. [Live] mode is provided for first connector checking and troubleshooting.
The fast change switchable adapter allows the OTDR to interface launch cables
with a variety of connector styles. The OFL 200 can internally store up to
48 traces. Using the supplied serial cable, saved traces can be transferred
to a PC for archiving, printing, and analyzing with the supplied Trace600
Windows® software. Test results are stored in Bell-core [*.sor] GR-196
Version 1.1 format.

M200 Single-Mode & Multimode Optical Time Domain Reflectometers
(OTDR)
M200 Handheld OTDR
The Noyes M200 from AFL Telecommunications offers unmatched OTDR capabilities
in a handheld package weighing less than 1 kg (2 lb). Multimode, Single-mode,
and ‘Quad’ wavelength models are offered. With short dead
zone and intermediate range specifications, the M200 is ideal for Tier
2 testing of premises (building and campus) networks or certification and
troubleshooting of FTTX PON networks. And its bright, transflective display
makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation.
The M200 is based on a new hardware/software platform that supports automatic
and manual setup, precision event analysis, dual-wavelength testing, fiber
identification using Noyes ‘TR’ test receivers, rich file naming
and folder setup, 6 hour battery life, internal and removable media data
storage, and USB connectivity. Test ports are equipped with tool-free adapters,
which can be changed in seconds. A custom-designed polycarbonate case and
shock-absorbing boot make it our most rugged OTDR ever.
Results are saved as industry standard .SOR files, which can be viewed,
printed, and analyzed on a PC using free-ware available to you and your customers
(go to www.afltele.com to download). Unit firmware, user settings, and test
results are saved in non-volatile memory. Thus the M200 may be stored with
battery removed for an extended period of time and still be up and running
in seconds when needed.

OTDRs require launch and receive test cables to measure the end-to-end loss
of optical fiber links. A launch cable, which connects the OTDR to the link
under test, reveals the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end connection.
A receive cable, which is connected to the far-end of the link, reveals the
insertion loss and reflectance of the far-end connection.
Noyes OTDR test cables are available in two forms. Fiber Rings, which provide
150m of 50µm, 62.5µm, or single-mode fiber in a compact, light-weight
ring, are ideal for testing optical fiber links (up to about 2 km) in premises
networks. Fiber Boxes, which are available in standard lengths up to 1 km,
are ideal for testing single-mode fiber spans (up to 50 km or longer)
in Telco and Broadband networks. Please call or email for information about
other length OTDR fiber boxes and Network Simulators, which are fiber boxes
with customer-specified splices, connections, or other events.
