Tektronix OF150 OTDR

The OFl50 is a high performance, easy to use, portable instrument that can perform repeatable, accurate distance and loss measurements on multimode optical fibers. Typical applications include: splice measurement through a one-way cable loss of up to 21.5 dB to within ±0.1 dB; detection of fiber ends, (four percent Fresnel reflection) through a one-way cableloss of up to 42.5 dB; and measuring distance to discontinuities (such as splices, Fiber faults and ends) to 19.9 km, with one meter resolution.

Direct Readout Saves Time and Errors

The OF150 gives you direct LCD readout of results, eliminating voltage-la-power and time-to distance computations and risk of operator errors. Direct readout assures accurate, repeatable measurements every time. A built-in chart recorder provides a permanent record of the waveform for reference and comparison.

Get an Accurate Picture of Splice Loss

Digital storage produces a consistently sharp, easy-la-view trace. Signal averaging and selectable filters help maintain waveform resolution, so that measurements are made as accurately at long distances as closer in. Two filters provide signal averaging and incremental decreases in the RMS noise floor. Compared to Fast filter operation (fast sweep), the Medium filter (medium sweep) provides a 7.5 dB reduction and the Slow filter (slow sweep) a15 dB reduction. By using the Fast-Medium-Slow selection, you can pick the optimum signal acquisition speed/noise reduction combination. The OFl50 also offers two selectable pulse widths. The short pulse increases resolution for close-in measurements, while the long pulse extends distance/loss measurement range.

The OFl50 combines high performance with ease of use. With Tektronix supplied manuals, crafts people or technicians can learn to use this instrument in two hours or less. Portability and Convenience its compact size, lightweight and rugged design, plus the ability to operate easily from a 12volt vehicle system or external battery pack, enables the OFl50 to offer exceptional portability in a high performance instrument.
