Handheld OTDR tester - AV6416

Extra-short Event Dead Zone
AV6416 palm OTDR has extra-short event dead zone, which is suitable for testing short optical fiber and pigtail optical fiber.

♦ Convenient VFL
The built-in 650nm visual fault location is ideal for easily identifying bad splice, bad connector, break or macro bend.

♦Communication Light Check

When measuring a fiber in service,the measuring result by an OTDR is not precise. To avoid the inprecision of measurement,this check function checks for the presence of light other than the OTDR optical measurement pulse.

♦ Application:

AV6416 Palm OTDR is mainly used to measure FTTx network, it provides a low cost solution for users.AV6416 offers three measuring modes: manual mode (including real time mode and average mode), auto mode and dead zone mode.
Manual measurement mode: manual mode is suitable for skilled operator who is familiar with the instrument. In this measurement mode, to get more accurate results, real-time mode or average mode can be selected if necessary.
In real-time mode, the dynamic changes of fiber chain can be detected timely, it is very useful when you need to watch the effect and process of fiber being spliced or connected.
In average measurement mode, the noise in trace can be suppressed, and the SNR(signal noise ratio) is improved, therefore,the result is more accurate. In fact, the more average times is executed, the more noise in trace is suppressed, and the longer time is spent for signal processing. In practice, the average times should be set properly according to necessity.
Auto measurement mode: the optimized measurement conditions are set automatically, it's unnecessary to operator to know about the complicated background knowledge and the further details of operating. In this mode, the more accurate results can be gained when proper average times are set, but it will increase the time of signal processing.
Dead zone mode: this mode is suitable for testing optical fiber with short distance and the optimized settings of distance range, pulse width and attenuator can be executed automatically. To get the best result, the terminal return loss should be guaranteed less than -40dB.
