Fiber fault
finding
The OTDR II (optical time domain
reflectometer) from Ideal Networks
has been designed for fault finding on
fiber cabling on both single-mode and
multi-mode fiber networks.
OTDR II delivers accurate test data and
pass/fail results, and offers automated
fault-finding capabilities that help to
minimize network downtime.
Specially developed to simplify testing
and troubleshooting, the OTDR II includes
Ideal Networks’ intelligent optical link
mapper (iOLM). This functionality turns
complicated graphs into a diagram that
displays all events along the link with
pass/fail results. The automated system’s
advanced algorithms also prevent
common OTDR testing challenges, such
as wrong OTDR traces. Designed to be
easy to use, technicians can use iOLM to
locate and identify faults with optimum
efficiency and with no need for complex
training or support. It also includes
powerful reporting software which can
be used to create and customize reports
to meet business requirements.
As a solution for contractors, the
versatile OTDR II offers a single unit
solution for multiple network testing.
Handheld
and
lightweight,
the
tablet-style tester is rugged enough to
be used in any environment and offers
an outdoor-enhanced touchscreen
with icon-based functions and intuitive
Windows-like operation.
