AQ1000 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
Specifically designed to increase the productivity of field personnel working on the installation and deployment of
optical access networks such as Fiber To The Home (FTTH).
- Wavelengths: 1310 / 1550 nm
- Dynamic ranges: 32 / 30 dB
Multi-touch touchscreen:
Tap, swipe, pinch or press. the high resolution, responsive 5.0-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and hard-key
buttons make OTDR operations simple and intuitive.
One-button measurement:
Simply pressing one single button, the AQ1000 initiates an OTDR measurement, detects and comprehensively
characterizes network events with PASS/FAIL judgment based on user-defined thresholds. The measurement data
can be saved automatically if desired.
Long battery operation time:
No worrying about running out of battery power during your daily work. The AQ1000’s high capacity Li-Ion battery
will last for 10 hours under the Telcordia standard conditions
Built-in PC and LS, and VLS:
Power checker (PC) - Measures and displays optical power of incoming light for testing network performance.
Light source (LS) - Outputs a stable, continuous wave/modulated light for measuring end-to-end attenuation
accurately when paired with an optical power sensor.
