Model Number: OFL250-50U-ENG
The Noyes OFL250-50 is a 1550 nm single-mode OTDR with an integrated optical power meter (OPM), 1550 nm laser source (OLS), and visual fault locator (VFL) in a handheld package weighing only 0.8 kg (1.7 lb). With short dead zone and mid-range dynamic range performance, the OFL250-50 is ideal for troubleshooting dark single-mode fibers in local area, metro area, and FTTx networks.
The OFL250-50 provides automatic and manual setup, precision event analysis, 12-hour battery life, internal data storage, and USB connectivity. OTDR and OPM test ports are equipped with tool-free adapters, which can be changed in seconds.
OTDR test results are saved as industry standard .SOR files, which can be transferred to a PC for viewing, printing, and analyzing with the supplied Windows® compatible software.
