The AXS-110 OTDR: The LAN/WAN Test Solution
Easy Location and Characterization of Events
The AXS-110
OTDR models help you boost test productivity for inside-plant applications. Its
exceptional 0.8 m event dead zone enables you to easily locate and characterize
all events between the transmitter and the central office’s fiber, access and
FTTH network applications, where events are usually closely spaced.
End-to-End PON Characterization
The AXS-110 OTDR models
let you test through high-port-count splitters—even 1 x 32 splitters—perfect for
passive optical network (PON) testing.
AXS-110 All-Fiber OTDR: Key Advantages
- Perfect tool for tier-2 certification of premises networks
- Pass/fail features that comply with industry standards such as TIA 568c
and IEEE 802.3ah
- Highest dynamic range of the industry for a handheld OTDR
- Power meter option, for crosschecking the total loss using the built-in
OTDR laser in continuous source mode
The AXS-100 Access OTDR: The Definitive Troubleshooting OTDR
EXFO’s AXS-100 Access OTDR combines the industry’s leading OTDR technology
with power meter functionalities in one powerful handheld unit. Optimized for
point-to-point testing of passive optical networks (PON) within FTTx
architectures, it offers several wavelength configurations and a wide range of
options, for first-class flexibility.
Unique Trace Analysis Software Features, for Fast, Reliable Results
AXS-100 series OTDRs make link assessment a fast, simple task, providing
unparalleled ease of use, even for technicians with little background in
optical/OTDR testing. Designed for boosting OTDR testing efficiency, whether for
multimode or singlemode applications, the AXS-100 software offers:
Full access to OTDR traces from major test equipment
manufacturers
Based on the universal Bellcore format (.sor,
Telcordia SR-4731), the software lets you access OTDR traces from various test
and measurement manufacturers. You can therefore seamlessly switch to the
AXS-100 series and still refer to your previously archived OTDR files.
Summary screen
The AXS-100 offers a smart software
option that provides pass/fail status at all wavelengths, as well as span loss,
ORL, fiber length and macrobend locations in a single window. View all your test
results at once, and enjoy fail-safe OTDR post-analysis.
Faster acquisition—five seconds
Spend less time
retrieving your OTDR traces, speeding up your test cycles.
Best-in-class software analysis
EXFO’s leading expertise
in OTDR testing and trace analysis lets you benefit from high-end software in a
handheld unit. Focus on what’s real: generate a list of all events actually
present on the link.
The Fiber Technician’s Complete Test Set—Value-Added Options
IP Testing
Performing complete access network testing
also means testing the delivered service. With the AXS-100’s IP testing option,
you can perform basic IP verification that will facilitate future
troubleshooting operations.
Visual Fault Locator
Ideal for easily identifying
macrobends, bad splices or bad connectors, this option delivers built-in 650 nm
visual fault location on a universal connector.
SmartKit Software
Save time on the field with automated
software analysis functions. Let the instrument work for you. This software
package combines automatic macrobend detection, pass/fail and fault finding
features. It enables you to access all your results at once and easily check
link status. A single summary screen shows you detailed pass/fail status,
fiber-length measurements and pinpoint macrobend localization.
Fiber Inspection Probe
In any optical network,
connectors should be kept clean and in good condition—which is not always easy
in outside conditions. You can quickly and easily inspect fiber ends or
connectors using a fiber inspection probe, and view the endfaces on the
AXS-100’s high-resolution display. Then, save your image captures for future
documentation purposes.
Fast-Track Data Post-Processing with FastReporter Software
The optional FastReporter software package provides you with the
post-processing tools and functionalities you need to meet such challenges,
whatever the application. Designed for off-line analysis of field-acquired data,
FastReporter offers a truly intuitive graphical user interface, which
contributes to boosting productivity.
Powerful Batch Processing
Automate repetitive operations
on large numbers of OTDR test files, and optimize your productivity. Document an
entire cable in a matter of seconds. Adjust your cable parameters and detection
thresholds and perform batch analysis. Open OTDR files from various vendors’
equipment and convert them to the universal Telcordia format.
Bidirectional Batch Analysis
Analyze an entire cable in
just two steps. View data for all events on all fibers, and at each wavelength,
on a single screen.
Live Templating for OTDR Testing
Benefit from one-step
file management at any wavelength. Keep full control by adding or removing
events manually, or add/remove events automatically using a reference. Get
uniform, detailed cable reports.
Flexible Reporting
Choose from various report templates,
including loss and ORL, OTDR, PMD, CD and fiber characterization. Generate
comprehensive cable reports in PDF, Excel or HTML format.
Time Savers from EXFO’s OTDR Viewer Software
This free software brings you key data post-processing features such as:
- Pass/warning/fail threshold setup, which helps you meet
ribbon and multifiber validation specifications
- Bidirectional trace analysis, which provides more
accurate, averaged loss measurements for each event
- Multifiber testing using the Template Trace mode, which
dynamically compares new OTDR results with a trace you assign as a reference
