An OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is a measuring instrument intended to measure the transmission loss and distance of optical fibers, locate cable cuts, and evaluate the connection loss and reflectance (return loss) of fusion splices, mechanical splices, connector connections, etc. Integrated light source, power meter, VFL and optional connector inspection tool will ensure technicians have everything they need to locate and. The OptiFiber Pro® Series OTDRs are the Tier 2 (extended) fiber certification solution for Datacenters, Outside Plant (OSP), FTTx and PON environments and are part of the Versiv™ Cabling Certification system. The system includes copper certification and OLTS modules. The MaxTester 700D OTDR Series comes with a Swap-Out connector which can easily be changed.
