GAO Fiber Optics, a provider of fiber-optic test and measurement devices, has introduced a new optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) that displays the loss distribution curves, fault points, connection point, attenuation coefficient, and length of the fiber. It also displays the return loss, slice loss, and loss between two points.
2000 OTDR
The new model 2000 OTDR is compatible with telecommunication, ISP, and CATV fiber networks. The device is suitable for locating fault point and analyzing loss characteristics in the production, deployment and maintenance of optical fiber networks.
The OTDR offers two curve markers for zooming in and out on information related to curves, and generates a fault point list. It incorporates an LCD display that shows test results clearly. The OTDR provides optional wavelengths that include 1550 nm and 1310 nm, at ±20 nm precision. The 2000 OTDR has a response time below 30 sec, and it can complete measuring of a 50 km fiber in high S/N ratio. The device is offered with a toolbox to aid the user in analyzing and managing the collected data from the OTDR.
