Fibre cleaver shrinks to half the size
The new CT30 series high precision fibre cleaver from Fujikura Europe is only half the size of its predecessor.
The OFL 250 OTDR combines an optical power meter, laser source and visual fault locator in a handheld package that weighs 0.8kg.
It provides both automatic and manual setups, precision event analysis, multiple wavelength testing and offers a 12-hour battery life.
"The OFL 250 is a small, lightweight portable tester with a short dead zone and dynamic range performance, making it ideal for use by multi-skilled engineers undertaking test or maintenance of FTTH networks", says Ian Tweedle of Fujikura Europe's Fibre Optics Division.
"Telecomms operators across Europe need cost-effective, flexible and highly reliable test and measurement devices to support the continued growth of FTTH.
This versatile device is designed to meet that need by combining three essential tools in one package at a hugely competitive price".
With a dynamic range of 26dB, the instrument is capable of locating ends of up to 78km at 1310nm and 130km at 1550nm on standard single-mode fibre.
The OFL 250 OTDR is the latest in a series of test and measurement tools from Fujikura Europe.
The portfolio includes the FLS-20T, which is designed to measure optical power loss over a fibre network in conjunction with an optical power meter, and the FID-20R fibre identifier, a handheld battery-operated accessory with an integrated power meter unit for the detection of mode signal and modulated tones from a laser light source.
