Description

The handheld OTDR... with proven perfomance

The MaxTester 700D Series builds on the proven tablet-inspired, lightweight and rugged OTDR MaxTester platform. The familiar 7-inch, outdoor-enhanced touchscreen continues to deliver an unprecedented user experience with its intuitive Windows-like GUI ensures a fast learning curve. The OTDR 2 environment offers icon-based functions, instant boot-up, automatic macrobend finders as well as improved auto and real‑time modes.

The MaxTester 700D Series is a line of genuine high-performance OTDRs from the world’s leading manufacturer. It delivers EXFO’s tried and true OTDR quality and accuracy along with the best optical performance for right-first-time results, every time.

The amazing 12-hour battery life will never let a technician down, and the plug-and-play hardware options, like the VFL, power meter and USB tools, make every technician’s job easier.

Most importantly, the MaxTester 700D Series comes with the intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM), an intelligent OTDR‑based application. This advanced software turns even the most complex trace analysis into a simple, one-touch task.

Ultimately, the MaxTester 700D Series is small enough to fit in your hand and big enough to fit all your needs!

Entry-level solution designed for all your testing needs

The MaxTester 720D (MAX-720D) features a dynamic range of 36 dB in singlemode and 29 dB in multimode, as well as industry‑leading dead zones. This ensures efficient testing of closely spaced events such as patchcords in data centers, or patch panels in central offices (COs). The MaxTester 720D is optimized for point-to-point (P2P) testing of any access network, and is suitable for testing through 1×32 splitters.

The 1650-nm, out-of-band, live testing capabilities enable efficient troubleshooting of active networks without impacting the signal of other clients.

Swap-Out connector

The MaxTester 700D OTDR Series comes with a Swap-Out connector which can easily be changed, as and when needed, without having to send the test unit to a service center. This ensures optimal performance over time without undue maintenance costs and downtime. The OTDR's optical connector health can be checked with an onboard diagnostic tool to replace the connector only when necessary.

Your calibration date remains valid, even after swapping the connector. No need to calibrate your unit sooner than planned.
