EXFO Optical Explorer OX1 Optical Fibre Multimeter

Optical technicians require an OFM as a handheld tool (it can be compared to multimeters used by electrical technicians). Multiple essential optical characteristics including as loss (dB), optical return loss (dB), length (metres), and power are easily measured by OFMs (dBm). They assist technicians in determining the condition of the fibre optic link and troubleshooting potential difficulties.

Verify optical links in seconds and investigate further automatically when problems are identified. To increase QoS and MTTR, accelerate fibre rollouts, simplify activation procedures, and improve repair robustness.

Key Features

• Displays fibre link KPIs (length, loss, ORL and power) in under 3 seconds, through single-ended testing
• On-the-spot detection and location of common causes of failures using EXFO’s patent-pending Fault Explorer
• Intelligent device:
  – No settings required
  – Contextual wavelength auto-selection
  – Built-in expertise to interpret link KPIs with patent-pending EXFO Advisor (5-star ranking system)
  – Diagnostics with suggested corrective actions
• Built-in power checker and light source
• Standalone go/no-go tester for day-to-day installation/repairs or paired with EXFO’s TestFlow mobile app for cloud-storage and full documentation of your jobs
• Save on cost of ownership: lifetime calibration, no factory returns thanks to our patent-pending Click-Out optical connector
• Rechargeable battery for over 10 hours of use on a single charge
