Noyes OFL 280-103 1310/1550/1625 SM- Handheld OTDR

OFL280 FlexTester
Multifunction OTDR and Loss Test Set
The Noyes OFL280 FlexTester offers an unmatched combination of fiber optic test functions, ease-of-use, portability, and value. All OFL280 FlexTester models include an integrated single-mode 1310/1550 nm OTDR with PON-optimized and standard test modes, optical power meter, 1310/1550 nm laser source, and visual fault locator.

For many users the two-wavelength OFL280-100 will provide the best balance of functionality and value. Testing at 1310 and 1550 nm is normally sufficient to certify point-to-point or FTTx PON fibers and allows the detection of macro bends. The three-wavelength OFL280-101 and OFL280-102 models add 1625 nm or 1490 nm respectively. Testing at 1625 nm allows testing of the L band. Testing at 1490 nm is required by some network operators to certify FTTx PONs. The filtered, three-wavelength OFL280-103 can certify dark fibers at 1310/1550 nm, fault-locate live FTTx fibers at 1625 nm, and measure FTTx power levels at 1490 and 1550 nm, all from a single test port.

The OFL280 FlexTester user interface provides operating modes suitable for a wide range of users and features a top-down menu structure that is both easy to learn and a pleasure to use.

OTDR test results may be saved as industry standard SOR files, which can be transferred to a PC for viewing, printing, and analysis using supplied Windows® compatible software.

Point-to-point cable construction and troubleshooting - Fiber loss, splice/connection loss and reflectance, fault-location

FTTx PON construction - Fiber loss, splitter loss and reflectance, splice or connection loss and reflectance, fault-location

FTTx customer fiber troubleshooting - dark fibers (hard faults) - Locate cable cuts, open splices, and bad connections

FTTx customer fiber troubleshooting - live fibers (marginal faults) - Locate marginal faults such as macro bends, poor splices, high-loss connections, high loss fiber sections due to water intrusion (requires live fiber OTDR)

FTTx service turn-up (commissioning) - At the ONT (customer) location, verify network power levels, and if needed, locate faults on the drop cable or customer fiber
