The OBR 4400 takes the industry’s first ultra-high resolution
OTDR with backscatter-level sensitivity designed for component- and
module-level reflectometry to the next level. With a small, easily
transportable platform, the capability to “see” reflections
out to 2 kilometers with no dead zone, and integrated temperature and
strain sensing, the OBR 4400 gives you the ultimate in fiber diagnostics.
The OBR 4400 uses swept-wavelength coherent interferometry to
measure minute reflections (< 0.0003 parts per billion) in an optical
system as a function of length with spatial resolution less than 50
microns. This provides the user with precision reflectometry and unprecedented optical-module inspection
and diagnostic capabilities by providing the ability to locate and
troubleshoot splices, connectors, fiber bends and breaks, insertion
loss points, track polarization, verify PM components and more.
ADVANTAGES:
High resolution OTDR - Resolve individual features
with spatial resolution down to 10 microns.
High sensitivity - 70 dB of dynamic range and
-130 dB sensitivity.
Long
range - Measure up to 2000 meters in length with
a single connection, single scan.
Single Connection IL and RL
- Measure insertion and return loss in a single
scan.
Locate loss events - Monitor backscatter
levels to isolate losses due to bends, crimps,
bad splices, etc.
“Look
inside” devices
- Use powerful windowing feature to interrogate
individual components within a subsystem.
Polarization Tracking -
Track changes in the state-of-polarization
as light propagates through an optical network.
Intuitive graphical interface - All key data
and graphs in a simple, easy to use interface.
Distributed sensing - use standard optical fiber to monitor the changes in temperature and strain
APPLICATIONS:
