NOYES CS260 Live PON OTDR
The CS260-10 Contractor Series Live PON OTDR is an ideal tool for fiber optic
technicians installing, activating and troubleshooting FTTx PON distribution and drop
fibers from the splitter to the ONT.
The CS260-10 provides an out-of-band 1625 nm OTDR with filtered detector, enabling
Live PON testing without disrupting service on an active PON. It additionally includes an
integrated PON power meter to automatically detect and measure downstream 1490
and 1550 nm signal levels.
The CS260-10 is also suitable for out-of-service testing. As longer wavelengths are more
sensitive to bending losses, the CS260-10 OTDR will detect excess losses induced by
micro- or macro-bends.
The CS260-10 provides extremely short event and attenuation dead zones (0.8 and
3.5 m, respectively), enabling closely spaced events to be detected and measured in
distribution and drop fibers. With 35 dB dynamic range, the CS260-10 is able to see
through PON splitters having split ratios up to 1×32, enabling detection of poor splices
or excess bending losses at the splitter.
To further aid in locating faults within access points, splice closures or indoor cabling,
the CS260-10 includes an integrated Visual Fault Locator (visible red laser).
The CS260-10 is extremely easy to use. It provides fully automatic OTDR parameter
selection, automatic event table generation, and end-to-end length, loss and ORL
summary. For expert users, the CS260-10 also allows full control of OTDR parameters
(range, pulse width, averaging time, etc.).
Over 1000 OTDR test results may be saved in industry-standard .SOR file format.
Stored OTDR results may be transferred to PC via USB port for viewing, analysis, and
professional report generation using included Windows® compatible TRM® 2.0 Basic Test
Results Manager software.
