AV6418 Multifunction OTDR

01 Sep 2010

AV6418 OTDR is a high performance measuring instrument with multifunction designed for FTTx network testing. It is an updation of AV6413 and AV6416 series optical time domain reflectometer, which is mainly used for measure the physical characteristics of optical fiber under test like length, transmission loss and splice loss etc. It can also locate the faults or breaks of optical fiber. The AV6418 optical time domain reflectometer is widely applied in the manufacture, construction and maintenance in optical fiber communication system.

Main Features:

• Handheld, lightweight and convenience for carrying
• up to 45dB high dynamic range
• ≤1m ultrashort event dead zone
• 0.05m high distance resolution, 128k sampling points
• Fast auto measurement, one-button operating
• Test up to 4 wavelengths in a single unit
• Automatic communication light checking
• Remote function via Ethernet
• Double USB interfaces, supporting USB disk, printer and direct cable download to PC via ActiveSync
• Supporting Bellcore GR196 file format
• Built-in lithium battery with high capacity, over 8 hours operating lifetime
• Visual fault locator (VFL) and optical power meter
• Universal FC/FC, FC/SC, FC/ST connector type, convenient for surface cleaning
• Unique function of online software upgrading

Ultrashort event dead zone High resolution with 1m untrashort event dead zone, suitable for testing short optical fiber & optical pigtail.

High speed auto analysis The AV6418 OTDR can detect and locate the events and faults in trace quickly and precisely, then lists all events in a event table, which is very useful for maintainers to improve efficiency and it's unnecessary to know much about the relative knowledge.

High speed auto measurement The function of auto measurement of AV6418 OTDR makes it unnecessary for operator to know about the further details of operating. The operation becomes very simple: after connect the fiber, what you need is just press【Start】, then the trace result is displayed and all events are listed on screen in a few seconds.

Unique PON testing function AV6418 OTDR is ideal for fiber access and FTTH network testing, it enable you to test through 1x32 even 1x64 splitters for PON( passive optical network) testing.

AV6418 offers an exceptional 1m event dead zone and 0.05m high distance resolution, with which you can characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office's fiber distribution patch panel.

Convenient VFL function The built-in 650nm visual fault locator (VFL) is ideal for identifying bad splice, bad connector, break or macro bend easily. The standard VFL with more than 2mW output power is factory installed in Exfiber’s AV6418 OTDR, the operation distance is in excess of 5 kilometers.

Communication Light Check

Multiple Wavelengths and Models AV6418 OTDR can provide any of single mode or multimode or both, designed to test FUT at up to four wavelengths in a single unit, such as 850, 1300, 1310, 1383, 1490, 1550, 1625 and 1650nm wavelengths, with which AV6418 can be used widely from long range to FTTx, CATV, LAN, Access and Metro networks.

Abundant external interface AV6418 optical time domain reflectometer has abundant external interface, supporting USB, Min-USB, Ethernet, earphone and SD card, which can provide the following functions:

• Training via multimedia for operators, which can enable you become a measuring expert quickly.
• Implementing remote controlling via Ethernet, troubleshooting from long distance for fiber under test.
• Printing trace and event table
• Updating application software online
