AXS-130 - compact OTDR

Overview
Optimized for FTTx/MDU fiber deployments and troubleshooting, suitable for metro. Live and/or dark fiber testing capability in a compact yet mighty form factor.

Key features

  • Icon-based view with optical link mapper (OLM), simplifying OTDR trace interpretation
  • Live and dark fiber capabilities
  • Integrated testing essentials: VFL, inline light source and power checker
  • Swap-Out connectors: patented field-replaceable connectors
  • Optimized display of test results (single-screen summary)
  • 3 models specialized for dark fiber (SM1), live fiber (SM7) or both (SM8)

Applications

  • FTTx/PON testing through splitters (up to 1×128)
  • FTTx service activation: GPON, EPON, XGS-PON, 10GE EPON
  • Live fiber troubleshooting
  • Access network testing (P2P)
  • Metro links testing (P2P)
  • Passive optical LAN (POL)
