MODELS

OFL280-100 provides the best balance of functions and value for many users.  Dual-wavelength testing at 1310 and 1550 nm is normally sufficient to certify FTTx PON and point-to-point networks, detect macro bends, and troubleshoot out-of-service optical networks.

OFL280-103 triple-wavelength model adds patented ServiceSafe™ live fiber detection with integrated PON Power Meter. Configuration is simple with the following functions provided from a single test port:

Certify dark PON and point-to-point networks at 1310/1550 nm

Perform high-resolution fault-location of dark or live FTTx PONs at 1625 nm

Measure FTTx power levels at 1490 and 1550 nm 

OFL280-102 model offers 1310/1490/1550 nm test for more complete testing of out-of-service PONs.

AFL’s exclusive Wave ID source and power meter feature is provided in all models. With Wave ID, the power meter automatically synchronizes its wavelength to that sent by the Wave ID source. Test time is significantly reduced, and wavelength setup errors (mismatch between source and power meter) are eliminated.

The OFL280 FlexTester user interface is equally suitable for both novice and expert users, and features a top-down menu structure that is easy to learn and efficient to use.

OTDR test results may be saved as .SOR files, which can be transferred to a PC for viewing, printing, and analysis using supplied Windows® compatible TRM 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software.  TRM can also be used to view power meter results and prepare professional, customized test reports including OTDR and power meter results plus FOCIS connector inspection images.

Advanced analysis and reporting capabiities, including macro-bend detection and bi-directional trace averaging, are available by upgrading to TRM 2.0 Advanced.

Additional Features

Full Auto, Real Time, and Expert OTDR modes

Internal storage (>1000 OTDR traces in standard .SOR format)

Transfer traces to a PC via USB

Short power-on time (<5 sec)

Easy to use and learn
