The AFL FlexScan FS200 Single-mode OTDR is a compact, field-ready optical time-domain reflectometer designed to help technicians test, troubleshoot, document, and verify single-mode fiber optic networks. Built for professional fiber optic field work, the FlexScan FS200 supports applications such as FTTH, PON verification, point-to-point fiber testing, fiber-to-the-antenna troubleshooting, insertion loss testing, power measurement, and visual fault location.
Designed for both experienced and less experienced technicians, the AFL FlexScan FS200 helps simplify optical network troubleshooting by automating test setup, reducing test time, and presenting results in an easy-to-understand format. Its compact size, touchscreen interface, smart test modes, and reporting options make it a practical tool for contractors, installers, telecom providers, utilities, network operators, and fiber service teams.
Fast, Clear and Reliable Testing with the AFL FlexScan FS200
The AFL FlexScan FS200 Single-mode OTDR is designed to improve productivity in the field. Instead of requiring users to manually interpret every trace, the FS200 can display OTDR results using AFL’s LinkMap view with color-coded pass/fail indications. This makes it easier to identify connectors, splices, splitters, macro-bends, fiber ends, and other network events.
- Easy LinkMap results: Displays fiber events in a simple icon-based format, helping technicians understand network condition quickly.
- Fast FleXpress testing: Completes dual-wavelength OTDR tests in seconds on supported models, helping reduce time spent at each test location.
- SmartAuto operation: Automatically analyzes the fiber link and selects optimized test settings to reduce setup errors.
- Single-mode PON support: Suitable for FTTH, PON, live PON troubleshooting, and point-to-point single-mode fiber verification.
- Integrated test capability: Depending on configuration, the FS200 may include a visual fault locator, optical power meter, optical light source, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
- Compact field design: Lightweight, portable, and rugged for technicians working in fiber cabinets, splice closures, customer sites, data rooms, and outside plant environments.
Advanced Features and Benefits of the AFL FlexScan FS200 Single-mode OTDR
The AFL FlexScan FS200 combines advanced OTDR performance with a practical user interface designed for real field conditions. SmartAuto multi-pulse acquisition helps characterize links efficiently, while LinkMap simplifies analysis by showing event type, event location, link length, loss, ORL, and pass/fail results in a technician-friendly format.
For PON environments, selected FS200 models support testing through splitter ratios up to 1:64. Available wavelength configurations include 1650 nm, 1310/1550 nm, 1310/1550/1625 nm, and 1310/1550/1650 nm depending on the selected model. This allows customers to choose the right instrument for live PON troubleshooting, standard FTTH testing, point-to-point fiber certification, or maintenance work.
The FS200 also helps reduce the number of separate instruments required in the field. With optional optical light source and optical power meter capability, technicians can perform OTDR testing, insertion loss testing, and power measurements using one compact platform. The integrated visual fault locator helps visually locate breaks, bends, and faults near patch panels, splice closures, and fiber distribution cabinets.
Results can be stored internally, saved to USB, and transferred using available Bluetooth or Wi-Fi options depending on configuration. With AFL reporting tools such as FlexReports and FlexApp, the FlexScan FS200 supports documentation, job closeout, and professional test reporting.
