DECEMBER 18, 2008 -- AFL Telecommunications (search for AFL Telecommunications) has introduced the Noyes C860 QUAD OTDR and Certification Test Kit.
According to the company, the new test kit includes one handheld C840 QUAD OLTS tester and one C850 QUAD OTDR/OLTS with built-in Auto-Test functionality in a rugged transit case loaded with test and cleaning accessories. Using this kit, technicians can troubleshoot, document, and perform certification tests of multimode and singlemode fiber networks, store results, and create professional test reports.
The C850 is both a QUAD Certification Tester and full-featured QUAD OTDR with a large transflective touch-screen display. Featuring singlemode and multimode OTDR capabilities that can be used to perform Tier-2 testing of fiber networks, the C850 includes integrated singlemode and multimode optical light sources, an optical power meter, and visual fault locator. The C840 QUAD Certification Tester includes both singlemode and multimode optical light sources, an optical power meter, and a visual fault locator. It can be used alone as a traditional power meter and light source to measure fiber loss or as a visual fault locator to find fiber breaks.
Used together, the C840 and C850 (aka the C860 QUAD kit) perform Tier-1 dual-wavelength multimode or singlemode Auto Tests of one or two fibers in one or both directions; measure both loss and length of the fibers; and compare the results to industry standards, applications, and user-defined threshold values to certify the fibers.
