EXFO's AXS Compact OTDR Series
|
More than 90% of OTDR units sent back to the manufacturer for periodic calibration have severely damaged connectors needing replacement. Connector health is critical to ensuring optimal performance and accurate results for optical test instruments. Optical connectors experience wear and tear in the field and degrade over time until replacement is necessary. Large instrument fleets come with hidden or unplanned costs of ownership, including:
The AXS Compact OTDR series is designed to eliminate hidden costs of ownership. Field-Replaceable: All-day battery > 10 hours of autonomy (Bellcore) Patented, Field-Replaceable Swap-Out Connector: Self-diagnose health of unit connector. Swap it for a brand new one on the go when needed—no factory servicing costs and no downtime. Keep Your Calibration Plan on Track: The calibration date remains valid, even after swapping the connector. No need to calibrate your unit sooner than planned. Built-In Intelligence: No learning curve and no need for remote expert assistance. Let the equipment handle it. Three-Year Warranty: Designed for long-term accuracy. EXFO’s Proven Robustness: Rugged and ready – the world's leading manufacturer of OTDRs delivers renowned robustness for field use. Operating OTDRs is also often a task given to expert technicians, which are either very rare or require large training investments. OTDR traces can be difficult to interpret. The AXS series addresses these challenges by being very compact and lightweight, easy-to-use, with built-in trace analysis, while providing the most accurate and reliable results. This new series was also designed to be accessible and to reduce the hidden cost of equipment maintenance with its patented Swap-Out connectors, another unique feature to EXFO field equipment.
