FLX380 FlexTester3 OTDR with LinkMap
The FLX380 FlexTester3 family provides the world’s smallest, lightest, most complete single-mode broadband network OTDRs with integrated optical light source, power meter, and visual fault locator (VFL).
Delivering an unmatched combination of optical test functions, ease-of-use, portability and value, FlexTester3 models offer the following benefits:
- Easily identify, locate and characterize connectors, splices, splitters and macrobends using new LinkMap with Pass/Fail!
- Toggle between LinkMap and Trace views at the push of a button
- Complete in- or out-of-service PON OTDR and power measurements from a single port using patented* ServiceSafe™ capability
- Test through PON splitters up to 1:128
- High dynamic range using narrow pulse widths
- Verify PON power levels and complete live PON OTDR tests without disrupting service
- Automatically detect, identify, locate and measure macrobends and splitters
- Measure end-to-end link length, loss and ORL
- Simplify insertion loss measurements, reduce test time and eliminate setup errors using integrated source and power meter with AFL's Wave ID
- Briight, indoor/outdoor display easily viewed, even in direct sunlight!
- Test all day (>12 hours) without replacing or recharging batteries
- Instant On: Ready to test in < 5 seconds
- Designed for outside plant: Rugged, handheld, lightweight
The FlexTester3 family is offered in four models to best suit your application requirements:
- FLX380-304: Verify both in-service (live) and out-of-service FTTx networks from a single port. Includes 1310/1550/1650 nm live PON OTDR with integrated PON power meter.
- FLX380-303: Similar to FLX380-304, but with 1310/1550/1625 nm live PON OTDR.
- FLX380-302: Complete out-of-service testing at all FTTx PON wavelengths (1310/1490/1550 nm).
- FLX380-300: Lowest cost, high-performance, all-in-one 1310/1550 nm OTDR for out-of-service installation testing or troubleshooting both FTTx PON and point-to-point networks.
- All models include integrated VFL plus Wave ID source and power meter.
The FLX380 FlexTester3 user interface features an easy-to-use, top-down menu structure. Fully automatic and expert modes are available for both novice and expert users. User interface software supports over a dozen languages including English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
Over 1000 OTDR test results may be saved in Telcordia SR-4731 .SOR file format. Stored OTDR and OPM results may be transferred to PC via USB or Bluetooth® for viewing, analysis, and professional report generation using the included Windows® compatible TRM® 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software.
Advanced analysis and reporting capabilities, including bi-directional trace averaging, are available by upgrading to TRM 2.0 Advanced.
