YOKOGAWA's latest Optical Time Domain Reflector makes the installation and maintenance of optical fiber networks more effective

To meet the needs of fast-growing communication services, such as video transmission, optical fiber networks are widely used. Companies that provide communication networks are increasingly required to install optical fiber networks. Engineers with rich field measurement experience are also obviously inadequate. Considering the above two aspects, when selecting OTDR, these communication network construction companies need OTDR with excellent performance and simple operation to improve work efficiency.

AQ7270 adopts the latest optical device. It is designed based on the optical fiber cable erection, including the access network and user network installation and measurement requirements, and can meet the measurement requirements in these fields. YOKOGAWA will vigorously promote two OTDR models. The new product AQ7270 is mainly used for the measurement of man and access networks. AQ7260 will be mainly used for the measurement of core network and long-distance trunk lines.

1. closer connection point measurement capability

During the installation of optical cables, connection point problems often occur. In this way, OTDR can be used to determine the connection points of these problems. AQ7270 has the shortest event blind zone of 0.8 m in the industry. In this way, AQ7270 can measure more connector points in the optical cable line, and the installation and measurement of the optical cable line will become more accurate.

2. Easy measurement

AQ7270 has a single-key measurement function, which can record the user's previous preset measurement conditions and measurement process, so that even if there is no operation experience, you only need to press a key, you can complete the measurement of the installed optical cable line. This avoids many measurement errors. You can use the Setup Wizard to conveniently train engineers.

3. improve work efficiency

The startup time of AQ7270 is only 10 seconds, so it can be tested upon startup. The 8.4 inch high-brightness LCD display of AQ7270 can clearly observe the curve even under the strong sunlight in the field. This will bring great convenience to the surveyors and greatly improve the efficiency of on-site measurement and data analysis.

4. smaller sizes and better portability

OTDR is mainly used for installation and maintenance of optical cable lines. The size of AQ7270 is 287X182X75mm, and the weight is 2.8Kg, greatly improving the portability of the instrument, this makes it easier to maintain optical cable lines.
