• 1310/1550/1650 Pt-to-Pt and PON Verification and Troubleshooting OTDR
• No Bluetooth/WiFi (-303/304 only); Includes Source, Power Meter
• FleXpress mode completes OTDR tests in <5 seconds
• Test up to 1:64 PON with 25 m PON dead zone
• Easy to understand LinkMap results with pass/fail indications

Dramatically Reduces Test Time

In SmartAuto mode, FlexScan OTDRs automatically analyze and test the network using a variety of network-optimized settings to precisely locate, characterize and identify network events with one button push. Loss and reflectance are measured for connectors, splices, splitters, and macro-bends. FlexScan even checks for live fiber and verifies OTDR launch quality before initiating a test. FlexScan’s new FleXpress mode completes dual-wavelength tests in seconds, reducing test time by a factor of 10x compared to conventional OTDRs. For multi-fiber testing, FleXpress mode automatically controls AFL’s MPO Switch, testing 12 fibers at the touch of a single button.

Simplifies Network Troubleshooting

LinkMap with pass/fail enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based view of the tested network clearly identifying fiber start, end, connectors, splices, PON splitters, and macro-bends. A LinkMap summary provides end-to-end link length, loss and ORL. Loss and reflectance and displayed with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between LinkMap and Trace views.

Connectivity

FlexScan OTDRs easily pair with AFL's award-winning FOCIS family of connector inspection probes for fast, easy single-fiber and/or multi-fiber connector end-face inspection. FlexScan results can then be transferred wirelessly via the free FlexScan App to a smart device for real-time reporting using the included Test Results Manager (TRM 3.0) PC-based software. This real-time monitoring can help avoid mistakes in the field that will require future truck rolls. OTDR, OLTS, and VFL Testing with a Single Tool FlexScan optionally includes a Wave ID optical light source (OLS) and optical power meter (OPM). With Wave ID, the OPM auto-synchronizes to a single or multi-wavelength Wave ID optical signal transmitted by an AFL light source. The OPM reports detected wavelengths and measures power and loss at each wavelength, saving significant test time and eliminating setup errors. The integrated VFL’s eye-safe red laser enables users to visually pinpoint the location of macro-bends and fiber breaks often found in splice closures and fiber cabinets.
