Exfo MAX-740C DWDM SM 1310/1550 OTDR IOLM Test Set

INTELLIGENT, AUTOMATED AND INTEGRATED. INNOVATION AT WORK.

The Optical Wave Expert integrates channel power validation and reflectometry characterization on a single port. This means that technicians can automatically identify faulty channels and follow through with fault location by leveraging OTDR or intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM) capabilities.

Technicians can now perform instant channel power readings through an intuitive GUI environment and seamlessly benefit from tunable OTDR capabilities. The rugged and compact MaxTester platform provides the most efficient and practical form factor for field use.
The integration of channel checker and OTDR capabilities on a single port means less unnecessary manipulation of the optical fiber and improved field efficiency. This translates into faster mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) and makes the trial and error approach–which can disable nodes–obsolete.

DWDM OTDR

Once the channel power diagnosis has detected a faulty channel, the OTDR can be configured with the appropriate parameters. This combination of channel checker and OTDR avoids additional manipulations and reduces the risk of human error.

Use a DWDM tunable OTDR for:

• Characterizing a single-ended fiber link
• Validating continuity and end-to-end loss through MUX, OADM and DEMUX (during construction)
• In-service testing using the customer’s wavelength port— without impacting other customer wavelengths nor incurring downtime
• Troubleshooting and characterization by a single operator from the headend
• Live troubleshooting without damaging SFP's

CHANNEL CHECKER

Thanks to the bar graph and the intuitive wide touchscreen, the channel power diagnostics are displayed clearly. By combining a channel checker and OTDR capabilities on a single port, the workflow becomes highly efficient. Technicians can assess the power levels and locate faults on the spot, for improved mean time to repair (MTTR). This patent-pending feature not only saves time but also reduces unnecessary manipulations, hence avoiding damage to the connectors.
