The DTX Compact OTDR is a full featured Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) module that snaps onto the Fluke Networks DTX CableAnalyzer. It makes the DTX powerful certification tool a complete, easy-to-use OTDR that shoots and analyzes traces on singlemode and multimode fiber.
The DTX Compact OTDR module makes every technician a fiber expert with unparalleled ease of use, automatic OTDR settings, loss limits for events and fiber links, launch fiber compensation, automatic event analysis, and results management - all with the familiar user interface of the DTX CableAnalyzer
One platform, many advantages
The DTX Compact OTDR Module leverages a contractor’s investment in the DTX CableAnalyzer by:
- Expanding installation revenue without expanding staff
- Shortening the technicians’ learning curve for fiber testing
- Performing Basic (Tier 1)* and Extended (Tier 2) fiber certification with a single tool
- Accelerating troubleshooting with a powerful, single-ended OTDR
- Delivering integrated copper and fiber reports using LinkWare™ Results Management Software
OTDR testing provides a graphical signature (trace) of the fiber’s attenuation along its length and can be completed with the DTX Compact OTDR Module. OTDR testing can complement loss/length testing with an extended or Tier 2 certification. Extended fiber certification characterizes individual connectors and splices and ensures the workmanship and quality of the installation meet design and warranty specifications.
* Separate onboard fiber modules are required for Tier 1 Certification.
