FTI-X Fibolocator Fiber Optic Fault Locators

Product information "FTI-X Fibolocator Fiber Optic Fault Locators"

1270-1650 nm; Test Signal Power 3 dB Peak; Horizontal Measurement Points 256; Horizontal Resolution 0.08, 2.5 m; Vertical Sensitivity -60,- 100 dB; Vertical Resolution 16 Bit; Typ. Dynamic Range 17, 27 dB

Fibotec Fiberoptics’ FTI-X Fibolocators are innovative devices for spatially resolving and characterizing breaks and reflective faults in optical fibers. Correlation Optical Time Domain Reflectometry is the principle behind this device. Like standard OTDR, it is based on analyzing backscatter but uses cw laser sources. The requirements on test signals and detection complexity are low, leading to very affordable OEM modules.

There are many different wavelength possibilities when using cw lasers, as the spectral width can also be customized. This enables the Fibolocator 80 for online monitoring of networks with ITU grid DFB diodes, as well as for interrogation of Bragg Grating fiber sensors. The Fibolocator 2500 is specifically designed to determine fiber length with very high resolution in QA and production.

Resolution is not limited by the measurement span and it is also possible to monitor (zoom in to) certain parts of the fiber because of the correlation principle. In noisy fibers, advantages compared with pulse OTDR can be observed.

LOR-200 OTDRs
400-1650 nm; Pulse Width 2-1,000 ns; Measurement Range ≤160 km; Fiber Type SM, MM; Connector Type FC, SC, ST – APC or PC Luciol Instruments’ LOR-200 series is a family of fully portable, stand-alone high-resolution OTDRs based on Luciol’s patented scanning photon-counting technology. The instruments are integrated in a Windows-based PC platform with touchscreen interface, achieve a superior dynamic range and allow high-resolution fiber characterization up to a total distance range of 160 km. Optimized for telecom wavelengths, typically from 1000 to 1650 nm, the LOR-200 OTDRs feature industry-leading resolution, distinguishing events with 20 cm separation, and a 50 cm attenuation dead-zone. Their unique dynamic range for short pulse lengths (up to 15 dB for 2 ns pulses) enables to see through optical splitters, even over very short distances. The optical pulse width is variable from 2 ns to 1 µs. A large variety of wavelength options is available, up to 4 different emitters can be integrated in a single module. The fiber options include single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) versions. In addition, a model designed for FTTx applications is available. This version with matched filter allows in-service testing of live passive optical networks (PON), without disturbing the transmission, and can easily see through optical splitters. All necessary filter elements, including Raman-backscattering filters, are included in this OTDR. Luciol has added several options to the LOR-200 high-resolution OTDRs: The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option enables a blinking red laser, which is connected to the same connector as the OTDR itself. The user can switch from VFL to OTDR measurement directly in the software, without removing the connecting fiber. With access to the end of the fiber under test, the VFL can be used as a fiber identifier, to verify that the correct assembly is tested. This feature is especially useful for customers testing assemblies with multiple-fiber connectors with a probe. Please not that this VFL option is available only with the 670 nm OTDR wavelength. The Optical Power Meter (OPM) option is calibrated at 670, 850, 1310, 1550 and 1610 nm. It covers power ranges of -50 to +5 dBm at 670 to 850 nm and -60 to +5 dBm at 1310 to 1610 nm. With the Fiber Microscope (FM, FSL) option, the user can verify the surface quality and cleanliness of all optical connectors before use. The surface is shown onto the LOR screen. It can be saved and printed for reference or reporting. Advanced software application is also available. With LOR-200-U, Luciol Instruments offers a table-top packaging option that requires an external PC for control and operation. LOR-200-U is equipped with a standard USB port for convenient and easy connection to most Windows based PC and is ideal for test bench integration, laboratory environment OTDR testing and many more applications. Benefit from the LOR-200 series’ high resolution for your FTTx/PON application for precise fault location and ONT detection.

AvaSpec CompactLine Spectrometers
UV-NIR; 200-1750 nm; Resolution 0.05-50.0 nm; Sensitivity 38,000-665,000 Counts/µW per ms Integration Time; CMOS or InGaAs Array Detector; Interface USB 2.0; 95x68x20 mm Miniature spectroscopy redefined – that's what Avantes considers the CompactLine series spectrometers. The new generation, Avantes’ AvaSpec-Mini MK-II series (AvaSpec-Mini2048CL and AvaSpec-Mini4096CL) is definitely one of the smallest types of spectrometers on the market today. In cases where size matters, the AvaSpec CompactLine family offers spectrometers with the smallest form factor – only the size of a deck of cards. This enables easier integration of Avantes’ spectrometers into machines and handheld devices. Squeezing down the size hardly compromises the performance of the instruments but limits the customer a bit in the number of possible configurations. This instrument with excellent temperature and wavelength stability is easy to take anywhere you like and very well suited for handheld applications. The AvaSpec-Mini-CL series with CMOS detectors and advanced electronics and communications can be equipped with a 2048-pixel CMOS detector (AvaSpec-Mini2048CL) or Avantes’ first-to-the-market 4096-pixel array (AvaSpec-Mini4096CL). And the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR is a compact near-infrared spectrometer with InGaAs detector, based on Avantes’ popular AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO NIRLine series spectrometer. Enjoy the speed and enhanced native UV/NIR response of CMOS with an incredible resolution of up to 0.09 nm unavailable anywhere else. The low stray light design allows stray light levels from as low as 0.2% and the fast response time boasts data transfer speeds as fast as 4.6 ms/scan and integration times ranging from 30 to 50 s. Customization is possible when adequate volumes are needed. This makes the CompactLine especially suited for OEM users wanting to integrate a spectrometer into their own devices. To learn more about all the available options and to find the perfect setup that matches your needs, please contact AMS Technologies to discuss your wishes with our sales engineers. The possibilities are virtually endless! For customers with urgent needs and general flexibility in their specifications, Avantes keeps a variety of preconfigured AvaSpec-Mini-CL series CompactLine spectrometers in stock so they are readily available within a significantly decreased shipping time.
