Designed for network service providers, network installers and CATV operators, the FOT-930 MaxTester provides fully automated loss test results in 10 seconds for up to three wavelengths, as well as automatic ORL and fiber-length measurement. It combines a powerful light source, a power meter, a visual fault locator, a full-duplex digital talk set and a video fiber inspection probe, and it comes with a large, high-resolution color display and nine hours autonomy—all this and more in an ergonomic, eye-catching handheld package built for today s fiber-optic testing requirements. This unit easily and efficiently provides complete, high-quality test documentation. Its data logging and management features help users quickly access and download test results to any PC through the RS-232 port for in-depth analysis and first-class report generation.
An FTTx Test Solution
This product is part of EXFO's series of FTTx optical test products. It allows for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and complies with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 Recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard.
FTTx Mode—Optimized for Testing Passive Optical Networks (PONs)
This mode lets you configure your FOT-930 MaxTester to suit your FTTx wavelengths and test-unit locations, as well as choose your preferred data presentation options for on-screen display or report generation. Benefits include the display of test data according to FTTx terminology, as well as similar test-data presentation, regardless of the location of main and remote units.
A Single Tool for All Backreflection, Fiber-Length and Loss Measurement Needs
Because learning how to operate only one instrument is easier and much faster, test specialists should choose an all-in-one tool that enables them to perform tasks such as installing long-haul high-speed networks, testing 1310/1490/1550 nm transmission in FTTH networks, performing multimode testing in enterprise networks, etc.—a do-it-all solution such as the FOT-930 MaxTester.
Key Advantages for All Network Types
The FOT-930 MaxTester delivers fast, three-wavelength loss and ORL results based on user-configurable pass/fail thresholds, for error-free testing. It is the only unit of its kind designed for testing both multimode and singlemode fiber. What s more, it comes with a GeX detector, for high-power measurement up to +26 dBm. Thanks to user-friendly features and various options (video fiber inspection probe, talk set, visual fault locator, etc.), the MaxTester requires little training and offers the flexibility that field crews look for.
