The DTX Compact OTDR is a full featured Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
(OTDR) module that snaps onto the Fluke Networks DTX CableAnalyzer. It makes the
DTX powerful certification tool a complete, easy-to-use OTDR that shoots and
analyzes traces on singlemode and multimode fiber.
The DTX Compact OTDR module makes every technician a fiber expert with
unparalleled ease of use, automatic OTDR settings, loss limits for events and
fiber links, launch fiber compensation, automatic event analysis, and results
management - all with the familiar user interface of the DTX CableAnalyzer.
The DTX Compact OTDR Module leverages a contractor's investment in the DTX
CableAnalyzer by:
- Expanding installation revenue without expanding staff
- Shortening the technicians' learning curve for fiber testing
- Performing Basic (Tier 1) and Extended (Tier 2) fiber
certification with a single tool
- Accelerating troubleshooting with a powerful, single-ended
OTDR
- Delivering integrated copper and fiber reports using
LinkWare™
- Results Management Software
