The AFL FlexScan FS300 Quad and HDR OTDRs are compact, feature-rich optical time-domain reflectometers designed to help technicians detect, identify, locate, and resolve optical network issues. The FS300 series includes both combined single-mode/multimode Quad OTDR configurations and high dynamic range single-mode HDR OTDR configurations for professional fiber optic testing.
Designed for both novice and experienced technicians, the AFL FlexScan FS300 supports a wide range of fiber network environments, including data centers, FTTH deployments, PON networks, Passive Optical LANs, point-to-point links, and long-haul fiber networks. With automated setup, fast testing, simplified results interpretation, and professional reporting tools, the FS300 series helps improve field efficiency and reduce troubleshooting time.
Fast, Clear and Reliable Testing with the AFL FlexScan FS300
The AFL FlexScan FS300 Quad and HDR OTDRs are built to simplify fiber troubleshooting while still providing advanced performance for demanding optical networks. Using SmartAuto test mode, the FS300 automatically analyzes the network and selects optimized test settings to locate, characterize, and identify network events with one-button operation.
- SmartAuto testing: Automates test setup and analysis to help reduce user errors and improve consistency.
- LinkMap results: Displays network events with color-coded icons for easier interpretation of connectors, splices, splitters, macro-bends, and fiber ends.
- Quad and HDR models: Available in multimode/single-mode Quad OTDR and high dynamic range single-mode HDR OTDR configurations.
- Data center test mode: Supported HDR models can complete fast OTDR testing for high-density fiber environments.
- Integrated test capability: Depending on configuration, the FS300 can include an optical light source, optical power meter, PON power meter, and visual fault locator.
- Flexible reporting: Results can be stored internally, saved to USB, transferred using Bluetooth options, printed to PDF, or managed with AFL FlexReports and FlexApp tools.
Advanced Features and Benefits of the AFL FlexScan FS300 Quad and HDR OTDRs
The AFL FlexScan FS300 is designed for technicians who need a practical, portable, and powerful OTDR for multiple fiber testing environments. Quad models support both multimode and single-mode testing, making them useful for data centers, enterprise networks, campus cabling, and mixed fiber installations. HDR models are designed for high dynamic range single-mode applications, including PON, FTTH, POLAN, and long-haul networks.
With LinkMap, the FS300 helps users quickly understand fiber link condition without relying only on traditional trace interpretation. LinkMap can identify fiber start, fiber end, connectors, splices, PON splitters, and macro-bends, while displaying pass/fail indications based on industry-standard or user-defined thresholds. Users can also toggle between LinkMap and trace views when deeper analysis is required.
The FS300 series also helps reduce the number of separate tools required in the field. Depending on the selected configuration, technicians can perform OTDR testing, optical loss testing, power measurements, light source testing, PON power measurement, visual fault location, and connector inspection workflows using a compact test platform. Compatibility with AFL FOCIS inspection probes further supports end-face inspection and documentation.
For field reporting and documentation, the FS300 supports internal storage, USB transfer, Bluetooth transfer through FlexApp, Print-to-PDF reporting, and AFL FlexReports Test Results Manager software. This helps contractors, service providers, enterprise teams, and network operators document test results clearly and manage job closeout more efficiently.
