Handheld OTDR

24 February 2016 Test & Measurement

With the introduction of the MAX-720C QUAD as part of its newly-launched OTDR/iOLM series, Exfo is aiming to elevate expected testing performances in fault-finding of data centre and enterprise networks.

With high specifications and performance levels on single mode and multimode fibre networks, this new OTDR/iOLM delivers Go/No-go results and automated fault-finding capabilities that minimise network downtime.

After almost five years on the market, Exfo claims iOLM has surpassed traditional OTDR test methods in fault-finding and proven its superiority for accuracy and repeatability. iOLM’s optimised and intelligent algorithms, combined with its specifications, provide automated, comprehensive and precise fault-finding results, which ensure first-time-right migration to high-speed links.

As an ideal solution for contractors, the versatile and budget-friendly MAX-720C-QUAD model offers an all-in-one solution for multiple network testing, including LAN/WAN, Access and FTTH/PON characterisation. It can also integrate a power meter and VFL with quick onboard reporting. Hosted in the popular MaxTester platform, this tablet-style instrument helps contractors and network operators build faster, more reliable fibre networks.
