A triple-wavelength module that adds 1625 nm capability to the standard 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths has been added to the options available for Yokogawa's AQ7260 optical time-domain reflectometer.
Reflectometer Speeds Network Installation
The AQ7260 optical time-domain reflectometer is a lightweight instrument designed to offer speed, ease of use and efficiency in the installation and servicing of optical communication networks
The AQ7269 is ideally suited to meet the needs of fibre installers in the growing Metro, WAN, LAN, and FTTH markets, while the AQ7265 is designed for fibre-optic measurements in long-haul networks.
When equipped with the AQ7269 SMF and MMF unit, the Yokogawa AQ7260 OTDR can make 1310/1550 nm measurements for SMF with 34/32 dB dynamic range and 850/1300 nm measurement for MMF with 22.5/24 dB dynamic range.
The AQ7269 can carry out measurements over up to 100 km of SMF at 1550 nm.
This unit will satisfy the demands of installers in both the telecommunications and data-communications sectors.
The AQ7265 SMF unit is designed to meet the demands of telecommunications installers, and features 1310/1550 nm measurement for SMF with 45/42 dB dynamic range.
It will measure over distances of up to 180 km of SMF at 1550 nm.
The new emulation software includes batch analysis reporting and batch print functions as well as data viewing.
The AQ7260 OTDR is a compact, lightweight instrument designed to offer speed, ease of use and efficiency in the installation and servicing of optical communications networks.
The instrument features two USB 1.0 interfaces, and is housed in a light and robust package weighing only 3 kg.
It incorporates an 8.4-inch TFT-LCD colour display and an internal memory of 20 Mbyte.
The Telcordia GR196 format is used for data storage.
The highest sampling resolution is 5 cm, and the maximum number of measurement points is 60,000.
Operation is very straightforward, with menus and instructions available in 11 European languages.
