Hi-Res Multimode OTDR Solution

The VIAVI Hi-Res Multimode OTDR Solution is engineered for precise characterization and fault location in very short multimode fiber runs. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for applications where access to fiber is challenging, such as in aircraft, spacecraft, submarines, and ships. This solution also supports fiber characterization during the manufacturing process. 


Key Features

  • Compact and Portable: Weighing approximately 500 g (1.1 lb) with dimensions of 213 x 124 x 32 mm, it's suitable for field operations in confined spaces. 
  • High-Resolution Testing: Offers industry-leading dead-zone performance with event dead zones as short as 0.2 m and attenuation dead zones of 0.4 m, enabling precise fault detection in short fiber links. 
  • User-Friendly Interface: Features a streamlined interface with SmartLink Mapper (SLM) providing an icon-based map view of the fiber link, simplifying OTDR trace interpretation. 
  • Advanced Analysis Tools: Includes OTDR trace overlay function for comparing maintenance results to reference traces, aiding in identifying potential issues. 
  • SmartConfigs: Offers generic and user-defined setup configurations to eliminate OTDR setup errors and ensure consistent results across users. 
  • FastReport: Onboard PDF report generation facilitates quick documentation and reporting. 
  • Connector Inspection: Compatible with the P5000i digital analysis microscope for ARINC-standardized fiber connectors inspection and certification. 


Applications

  • Aerospace and Defense: Testing and maintenance of fiber optics in commercial or military aircraft, spacecraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). 
  • Marine: Fiber testing in submarines and ships where space constraints demand compact testing solutions. 
  • Manufacturing: Characterization of fibers during the manufacturing process to ensure quality and performance.
