Mini OTDR aids installation and maintenance
The Yokogawa AQ7270 fiberXplorer is a mini OTDR claimed to set new standards in terms of performance, speed of operation and ease of use.
Available now in the UK from DMOptics, the Yokogawa AQ7270 fiberXplorer is a mini OTDR (optical time-domain reflectometer) claimed to set new standards in terms of performance, speed of operation, and ease of use to aid the installation and maintenance of core, metro and access networks including FTTH (fibre to the home) and PON (passive optical networks). The AQ7270 offers the industry's best performance in terms of event separation capability and the shortest dead zone - less than 80cm - to enable multiple-event detection even when events are close to one another. Its high-speed operation optimises work efficiency, while automatic test functions enable installation operatives to execute tests easily and reliably.
The Yokogawa AQ7270 is a compact, lightweight instrument measuring only 287 x 182 x 75mm and weighing 2.9kg.
It features a large (8.4in) high-luminance LCD display with a dark background which makes it easy to read the screen and manipulate markers, even in bright sunlight.
The Yokogawa AQ7270 Series includes eleven models, each of which will test up to four wavelengths covering the requirements of core, metro and access networks.
Seven wavelengths: 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625 and 1650nm - are currently available in the product lineup.
Key features which improve operational efficiency are the instrument's speed of operation and its powerful integrated test functions.
Fast power-up enables users to start testing within 10 seconds on turning the OTDR on, while one-button testing is used to execute preset test routines for dramatically improving the productivity of operatives without specialist technical skills.
The Yokogawa AQ7270 is equipped with a number of functions to help users to execute a reliable measurement easily, including a fully automatic mode which sets appropriate test conditions according to the fibre under test, carries out the measurement, and saves the data to a file.
In addition, a 'fibre in use' indicator and alarm prevents on-channel measurements being made on fibres with in-service wavelengths.
Other features include multiple languages for menus, internal data storage of up to 1000 traces) and external USB storage.
A number of options are available to expand the instrument's test capability and work efficiency, including an optical power monitor, light source, built-in printer and built-in dummy fibre to aid near-end evaluation.
