OTDR Testing has been made simple with the FiberXpert OTDR 5000 fibre tester, as it has been designed with network installers and operators of enterprise networks in mind. The FiberXpert OTDR 5000 measures, documents and troubleshoots fibre optic networks and offers very high resolution enabling one of the shortest dead zones available for testing Multi Mode and Single Mode fibres.
With its high resolution the FiberXpert OTDR 5000 cable tester has the ability to measure very short fibre links and can be used to test both Multi Mode and Single Mode fibres. With its automatic analysis features these measurement tasks are greatly simplified and OTDR testing made easier.
The FiberXpert OTDR 5000 cable tester offers additional measurement functions such as attenuation measurement and an optical power meter provides an accurate measurement of the total link loss and the output power of active equipment such as switches.
