The EXFO D series includes an optical port connector condition monitoring assistant and field-replaceable optical port connectors.
The EXFO D-Series OTDR also combines optical link mapping and power measurement (optionally, a dual-channel PON power meter) through the same optical connector port, allowing technicians to switch from power testing mode to troubleshooting mode without having to disconnect the fiber under test to switch to a separate power meter unit. This feature substantially improves testing efficiency.
“The urgency to build higher-capacity networks requires appropriate testing tools to support network construction, activation, and maintenance. In meeting these needs, customers worldwide have come to rely on our industry-acclaimed OTDRs. It is important for us to continue innovating and evolving our solutions as our customers’ needs change,” said Étienne Gagnon, Senior Vice President of Testing and Measurement at EXFO. “Today’s announcement of the best-in-class D-Series OTDRs further extends EXFO’s leadership in this category, delivering greater efficiency, versatility, and time savings than ever before.”
Along with these new technical features, EXFO's D-Series OTDRs are part of a complete ecosystem that connects to EXFO Exchange, a cloud-based collaborative software platform that unifies, automates, and optimizes field testing, reporting, workflows, troubleshooting processes, and much more. All test plans, data, and reports can be stored, shared, and analyzed collaboratively in real time, further enhancing the efficiency of field testing.
The EXFO D series of OTDRs includes five models. Three are dedicated OTDRs from the EXFO MaxTester range: the 715D for last mile testing, the 720D for PON/access, and the 730D for PON/metro. The other two models are interchangeable FTB modules: the 720D for PON/access and the 730D for PON/metro.
