Overview of Features
The OF-500 OptiFiber
®
Certifying OTDR (hereafter
referred to as the tester) is a hand-held Optical Time
Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) that locates and
characterizes reflective and loss events in multimode and
singlemode fibers. The tester is optimized for use on the
shorter fiber runs typically installed in premises (building
and campus) networks. Typical test ranges are up to
7 km at 1300 nm for multimode fiber and up to 60 km
for singlemode fiber.
The tester offers the following features:
•
Automated OTDR trace and event analysis help you
identify and locate faults on multimode (850 nm and
1300 nm; 50
μ
m and 62.5
μ
m) and singlemode
(1310 nm and 1550 nm; 9
μ
m) fiber.
•
Displays OTDR results in summary format, as a table
of events, or as an interpretive OTDR trace.
PASS/FAIL results are based on factory-installed limits
or limits you specify.
