OFL 280

Installation (Live Fiber) and Construction Models

The Noyes OFL280 from AFL Telecommunications is a single-mode OTDR offered in two FTTx-optimized models. The ‘installation and repair’ model can operate at three wavelengths (1310/1550/1625 nm) on dark fibres but automatically switches to a filtered, 1625 nm only mode if a live fibre is detected. In addition, the test port is equipped with a PON power meter, which allows the OFL280 to detect live FTTx fibres, measure FTTx network power levels, and fault-locate live FTTx fibres with a single OTDR to network connection and a single automated test. A conventional three-wavelength (1310/1490/1550 nm) ‘construction’ model is also available to certify or fault-locate dark fibres in FTTx or other networks.
