A simple-to-use fiber-tester, Optical Explorer verifies optical links in seconds and automatically explores further when potential issues are suspected. It’s the first optical fiber multimeter, asserts EXFO — a new category of specialized tools that empower frontline technicians to do more while reducing opex and capex.

Many operators have one or more high-end testing systems that few folks have access to. This commoditizes the optical testing of fiber.”
