The FlexScan FS200-304 includes a visible red laser visual fault locator and offers optional integrated stable source, optical power meter, and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless interfaces. OTDR and insertion loss test results may be stored internally and uploaded via USB port, or stored to an external USB memory stick. Integrated source and power meter support CW, fiber-identifying test tones (270, 330, 1000, 2000 Hz), as well as AFL's Wave ID multi-wavelength, self-synchronizing insertion loss measurement mode.
Judge's comment: "Very nice form factor for field use with many useful features in the same unit. The live PON test features are a plus including the use of 1650 nm. The ability to insert between the ODN and ONU and provide a Link Map is a must for technicians managing active PON networks. Great test device for the installation, activation, and maintenance phases of PON networks."
