Overview
The AXS-100 Series Handheld OTDRs are designed for testing access/FTTx and LAN/WAN networks. They support both singlemode and multimode fiber testing with wavelengths of 850, 1300, 1310, and 1550 nm, offering dynamic ranges of 24, 25, 32, and 30 dB respectively. The devices feature an event dead zone of 0.8 m, aiding in precise network event characterization.
SpecificationsThe series includes four models:
- AXS-100 Access OTDR: For singlemode troubleshooting with wavelengths of 1310/1550/1625 nm and dynamic ranges of 29/28/28 dB.
- AXS-110-SM Singlemode OTDR: For FTTx/access and CATV testing with wavelengths of 1310/1550 nm and dynamic ranges of 32/30 dB.
- AXS-110-MM Multimode OTDR: For enterprise network testing on 50 and 62.5 µm multimode fiber with wavelengths of 850/1300 nm and dynamic ranges of 24/25 dB.
- AXS-110 All-Fiber OTDR: Combines singlemode and multimode capabilities with wavelengths of 850/1300/1310/1550 nm and dynamic ranges of 24/25/32/30 dB.
