Combining SmartAuto network-optimized event detection and analysis with
its intuitive LinkMap view of the tested network, AFL’s FlexScan OTDRs
enable even novice technicians to quickly and easily troubleshoot or
fully characterize optical fiber networks.
User-friendly: FlexScan OTDRs enable technicians to
quickly, reliably and accurately detect, locate, identify and measure
optical network components and faults. After applying industry-standard
or user-set pass/fail criteria, the network is displayed using
FlexScan’s intuitive, icon-based LinkMap view. Acquired results may be
stored internally or externally. FlexScan automates test setup, shortens
test time and simplifies results interpretation, improving efficiency
and reducing the cost of test.
Pocket-sized: At 3.5 x 6 x 1.75 inches, and less than
one pound, FlexScan OTDRs truly fit in your pocket, yet still provide a
large, bright indoor/outdoor touchscreen display and all-day operation.
And Affordable: With optional connector inspection,
integrated source, power meter and VFL, FlexScan offers an all-in one
solution, ensuring technicians have everything they need to locate and
resolve optical network issues. Uploaded results may be viewed and
reports may be generated using the included Windows-compatible software.
LinkMap with Pass/Fail enables even novice users to easily and
accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based
view of the tested network clearly identifying fiber start, end,
connectors, splices, PON splitters, and macro-bends.
A LinkMap Summary provides end-to-end link length, loss, loss per
distance and ORL. Loss and reflectance of detected events is compared to
industry-standard or user-settable pass/fail thresholds and displayed
with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between
LinkMap and Trace views.
FlexScan integrates a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) plus an optional
optical laser source (OLS) and optical power meter (OPM) supporting
AFL's unique Wave ID capability. With Wave ID, the power meter
automatically synchronizes to a single or multi-wavelength Wave ID
optical signal sent by an AFL light source. The power meter
automatically identifies received wavelengths and measures power and
loss at each wavelength, saving significant test time and eliminating
setup errors.
The VFL's eye-safe red laser enables users to visually pinpoint the
location of macro-bends and fiber breaks often found in splice closures
and fiber cabinets.
