Tektronix TEKRANGER TFS3031 Mini Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
Single
Mode 1310nm 1550nm & Multimode 850nm 1300nm Mini OTDR
Dynamic Range:
850/1300 nm 31/28 dB, 1310/1550 nm 30/28 dB
TekRangerTM TFS3031 mini-OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer). The
product features IntelliTraceTM, a new patented technology for unprecedented
accuracy and ease of use in testing fiber optic networks. TekRanger, which
replaces the popular FiberMiniTM, adds an optional disk drive and is the first
mini-OTDR with both singlemode and multimode test capability in one
instrument.
"The accelerating deployment of broadband networks is driving a need for
rugged test tools that are smaller, faster, and more intelligent," said Ken
Ditto, TekRanger product manager at Tektronix. "TekRanger answers this need in
data, cable TV and telephony applications."
IntelliTrace Includes Enhanced
Acquisition and Display
IntelliTrace provides complete and accurate results by adjusting acquisition
parameters, such as pulse width and number of averages, as it automatically
analyzes a fiber link. As a result, it more accurately measures small and
closely spaced events, even over long distances. Near-in events are also
captured because of TekRanger's superior dead zone performance, allowing
one-button testing from five meters to more than 100 km.
IntelliTrace features enhanced display of acquired data, with events such as
splices and excessive bends in the cable automatically marked and viewable in
table format simultaneously with the waveform. Operators can customize the event
table, add comments, and eliminate or add events.
TekRanger also features a range of user language options, including English,
Chinese, Japanese, French, Portuguese, Spanish and German.
Dual Wavelength
Singlemode and Multimode Options
TekRanger is the first mini-OTDR to offer the capability to test both
singlemode and multimode fiber with the same instrument. The unique two port
design, which allows users to test multimode and singlemode fiber without having
to change modules, makes the TekRanger very durable. TekRanger has up to four
test wavelengths in one instrument: 1310 and 1550 nm for singlemode fiber, and
850 and 1300 nm for multimode fiber.
Designed for Optimal Performance in the Field
Like its predecessor, the TekRanger mini-OTDR is rugged, splash-proof and
shock-resistant. It weighs only nine pounds (4.2 kg) and measures 11.25 in. x
9.5 in. x 4 in. (29.2 cm x 24.1 cm x 11.4 cm). TekRanger operates using an
internal, eight-hour NiCAD battery or standard "C"-size alkaline batteries. An
enhanced power management system includes a battery level indicator, low-battery
warning and the ability to be recharged from a vehicle.
The large, high-resolution 640 x 480 backlit display, makes waveforms and
tables easy to read, even under difficult lighting conditions. Users can easily
store up to 200 waveforms in the expanded internal memory, or use the optional,
integrated disk drive for waveform documentation and archiving. The disk drive
also allows software upgrades, enabling TekRanger to meet evolving customer
requirements.
