The Noyes OFL 200 OTDR sets new standards for size, weight, ease-of-use, and value in a telco/broadband OTDR. Smaller than many optical loss test sets, the OFL 200 has the range, features, and price to make it the perfect OTDR for outside plant crews installing and maintaining optical fibre cables in broadband, metro, access, and FTTH networks. 

Unlike ‘optical fault locators’, which detect only reflective events, the OFL 200 is a true OTDR, which detects fibre backscatter as well as fresnel reflections. Thus, the OFL 200 can locate reflective and non-reflective breaks, including those caused by crushed fibre's.  In addition, the OFL 200 provides an integrated 650 nm Visual Fault Locator (VFL) for short distance troubleshooting and fibre tracing. 

In its [Full Auto] mode, the OFL 200 measures fibre length and sets range, pulse width, and averaging time automatically. [Full Auto] mode is ideal for operators not familiar with OTDRs. [Semi Auto] mode allows the user to set range while the OFL 200 sets all other parameters. [Manual] mode is available for experienced users. [Live] mode is provided for first connector checking and troubleshooting.

The fast change switchable adapter allows the OTDR to interface launch cables with a variety of connector styles. The OFL 200 can internally store up to 48 traces. Using the supplied serial cable, saved traces can be transferred to a PC for archiving, printing, and analyzing with the supplied Trace600 Windows® software. Test results are stored in Bellcore [*.sor] GR-196 Version 1.1 format.
