Displays fiber link KPIs (length, loss, ORL and power) in under 3 seconds, through single-ended testing
Optical Explorer - Industry's first optical fiber multimeter
Overview
Fiber optic tester that performs link verification and automated fault tracking in seconds. Empowering frontline technicians to explore further and do more.
Applications
Any singlemode link up to 40 km (point-to-point)
FTTx last mile installation
FTTx service activation and repair, including in-service testing
Last mile/access network installation and repair
Fiber health check-up
Power level testing
Insertion loss and ORL testing
Fiber-break location
Fault identification and location (splices, connectors, macrobends)
Highlights
Make it simpler.
Boost your workforce output without increasing headcount
- Simple-to-use test tool: intuitive design requires minimal training to use—perfect for frontline field techs no matter their experience level or testing background
- Fix problems on the go: minimize the costs and delays associated with deploying level-2 expert support and additional truck rolls
- Ultra-lean interface and no complex settings for ease of use and reduction in manual errors
Do it better.
Upskill frontline techs plus unique 5-star rating scale, to boost work quality
- EXFO Advisor validates link quality in seconds, assigning a 1-5 star rating according to industry best practices
- With power checking and light source capabilities combined in a rugged and compact form factor, Optical Explorer is a familiar, intuitive field companion that instantly upskills any field technician
- Link Mapper improves pinpointing of faulty elements: locates all faults and detectable elements by reading their relative position instead of interpreting distance
Do it faster.
Speed up installation, service activation, mean time to repair and time to revenue with leaner MOPs for improved ROI and customer satisfaction
- Get leaner methods of procedure: confirm link quality and/or identify faults in a simple, one-step quick test.
- Test insertion loss and ORL in a single-ended process, no need for tedious referencing.
- Reduce mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) by cutting down on troubleshooting and escalation tickets.
- Don’t lose time on good links. In 5 seconds, Fault Explorer confirms a pass (IL, ORL and length) on good links while tracking only suspicious events.
- Frontline technicians leave jobs assured of a smoother, faster service activation or recovery time.
Do more for less.
Bring down OPEX and CAPEX by minimizing cost of ownership without compromising quality
- Lifetime calibration, patent-pending click-out optical connector and replaceable battery enable frontline field techs to perform unit repair/maintenance—no shipping logistics or downtime for factory servicing
- Empowers large crews of frontline technicians to do more: reduces need for onsite fiber expert.
- Contractors close more jobs while maximizing ROI due to leaner MOPs and lower cost of ownership
Get stronger networks.
Take control of QoS and gain confidence in your fiber infrastructure ahead of its next evolution
- Less service disruption and troubleshooting tickets as links are verified and fixed at installation and activation
- Delivers visibility over the robustness of links in relation to the type of traffic carried
