VeEX | FX160 Handheld Bidirectional OLTS and OTDR for FTTx/PON and Point-to-Point Applications | #Z06-05-104P
DESCRIPTION
The FX160 combines bidirectional insertion loss and optical return loss (ORL) with OTDR measurement in one report with easy, automated testing. Each FX160 pair communicates using the fiber under test, allowing a single technician to perform bidirectional testing without having to return to the remote device.
The FX160's FiberBEAST™, Bidirectional Easy Analysis by a Single Technician, test suite performs automated bidirectional insertion loss (IL), optical return loss (ORL), and unidirectional OTDR measurements for up to three wavelengths via a single test port.
