AXS-100 Handheld OTDR Series - EXFO - #3

The AXS-110 OTDR: the LAN/WAN Test Solution

Easy Location and Characterization of Events

The AXS-110 OTDR models help you boost test productivity for inside-plant applications. Its exceptional 0.8 m event dead zone enables you to easily locate and characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office's fiber, access and FTTH network applications, where events are usually closely spaced.

Multimode and Singlemode Flexibility

The AXS-110 All-Fiber OTDR combines singlemode and multimode functionalities, ideal for premises/private/enterprise network testing. Test multimode fiber within premises, or singlemode fiber between premises—all with a single OTDR unit—and maximize your return on investment.

End-to-end PON Characterization

The AXS-110 OTDR models let you test through high-port-count splitters—even 1 x 32 splitters—perfect for passive (PON) testing.

The AXS-100 Access OTDR: the Definitive Troubleshooting OTDR

EXFO's AXS-100 Access OTDR combines the industry's leading OTDR technology with power meter functionalities in one powerful handheld unit. Optimized for point-to-point testing of passive optical networks (PON) within FTTx architectures, it offers several wavelength configurations and a wide range of options, for first-class flexibility.

In-Service PON Troubleshooting Option

The AXS-100 Access OTDR is specifically designed for in-service PON troubleshooting. It features an optional dedicated port for testing at 1625 nm incorporating a filter that rejects all unwanted signals (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) that could contaminate the OTDR measurement. The filter only lets through the 1625 nm OTDR signal, ensuring accurate OTDR measurements.

In-service OTDR troubleshooting of optical fiber does not interfere with the normal operation and expected performance of the information channels. EXFO's AXS-100 does not interfere with the CO's laser transmitters, as it uses an out-of-band wavelength, as per the ITU-T L.41 recommendation ("Maintenance Wavelength on Fibers Carrying Signals").
