The new Noyes M100 OTDR is the world’s
first handheld, single-mode and multimode, four-wavelength Optical Time Domain
Reflectometer with integrated VFL (visual fault locator). Using “PDA”
technology the M100 reaches a new level of value and portability. By combining a
simple user interface with the features of a mini-OTDR in a “micro”
package, the M100 is ideal for premises network Tier 2 fiber link certification
and fault-location measurements including: connection loss and reflectance,
splice loss, and fiber loss slope (attenuation rate). The M100 is also suited
for broadband service providers looking for a highly portable OTDR to document
and trouble-shoot fiber links in their access and FTTx (fiber to the
home/curb/office) networks.
Both the multimode and single-mode OTDR ports are equipped with tool-free,
switchable adapter mounts. ST, SC, and FC adapters are provided. The VFL port is
equipped with a universal adapter that accepts any standard 2.5 mm connector.
Saved test results can be transferred to a PC for archiving, printing, and
analyzing with the supplied trace analysis software. Test results are stored in
[*.sor] format.
