FlexScan FS200 OTDR enable both novice and expert technicians to quickly and reliably troubleshoot optical networks or fully characterize newly installed or repaired networks. Designed for field use, it is robust, rugged, lightweight, powerful and flexible. This is for in-service PON troubleshooting, as well as out-of-service PON or point-to-point network installation verification or troubleshooting.
FlexScan FS200 OTDR enable both novice and expert technicians to quickly and reliably troubleshoot optical networks or fully characterize newly installed or repaired networks. Designed for field use, it is robust, rugged, lightweight, powerful and flexible. This is for in-service PON troubleshooting, as well as out-of-service PON or point-to-point network installation verification or troubleshooting.
With this user-friendly OTDR, automate test setup, shorten test time, and simplify results interpretation improving efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, it applies industry-standard or user-set pass/fail criteria and displays results using LinkMap color-coded icons that immediately show the health of the network.
Features
Dramatically reduces test time
In SmartAuto mode, this OTDR automatically analyze and test the network using a variety of network-optimized settings to precisely locate, characterize and identify network events with one button push. Loss and reflectance are measured for connectors, splices, splitters and macro-bends. FlexScan even checks for live fiber and verifies OTDR launch quality before initiating a test.
The FleXpress mode completes dual-wavelength tests in seconds, reducing test time by 10x compared to conventional OTDRs. For multi-fiber testing, it automatically control AFL’s MPO Switch, testing 12 fibers at the touch of a single button.
Simplifies network troubleshooting
LinkMap with pass/fail enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based view of the tested network clearly identifying fiber start, end, connectors, splices, PON splitters, and macro-bends.
A LinkMap summary provides end-to-end link length, loss and ORL. Loss and reflectance are displayed with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between LinkMap and Trace views.
Connectivity
This OTDR easily pair with the FOCIS® family of connector inspection probes (sold separately) for fast, easy single-fiber and/or multi-fiber connector end-face inspection. Results can then be transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App to a smart device for real-time reporting using the included Test Results Manager (TRM 3.0) PC-based software. This real-time monitoring can help avoid mistakes in the field that will require future truck rolls.
