EXFO FTB-720-iOLM
Using an automated multipulse acquisition approach and advanced algorithms, the iOLM is an OTDR-based application that delivers detailed information on every element on the link, in a single button operation—providing maximum intelligence and simplicity for expert-level link characterization.
Revolutionizing Single-Ended Fiber Deployments
- Self-Setting Unit
Let it be the expert
Powered by Link-Aware technology, the iOLM self-manages the setting of all test parameters—ready-to-use intelligence that dramatically shortens the learning curve. Minimize training, avoid test misconfiguration, and facilitate your technicians’ transition from copper to fiber.
- Link-Aware™ Technology
Let it optimize the test run
With one click, the unit automatically performs link recognition, sets the optimal parameters and launches multiple acquisitions and multiple analyses—at multiple wavelengths—consolidating the results obtained for every link section and every network element. Get accurate information right away on each link element and export it to a single report.
- Optical Link View
Let it crunch the data
Leaving behind complex OTDR traces, the simplified link mapper provides a straightforward view of the fiber under test, with clear icons and pass/fail verdicts. Get actual results: end-to-end visual assessment of your link, complete with event characterization and fiber status.
- Prompt Diagnosis
Let it show you the way
Loaded with countless algorithms and a database of potential network failures, the iOLM guides you through your network’s problem-solving process. Say goodbye to trace misinterpretation, and ensure that all your technicians—not just your most experienced ones—can efficiently fix network issues right on the spot.
Mandatory: Angled-Polished (APC) Connectors
As any OTDR, the iOLM will be impacted by strong reflections at the unit’s port. To ensure low reflections and maintain measurement accuracy, the iOLM must be used with APC connectors. Another advantage of using APC connectors is their ability to handle harsher conditions without becoming highly reflective while maintaining the unit’s performance.
In the case of UPC connectors, they are prone to be highly reflective if contaminated, worn or damaged. This will affect the measurement and will lead to premature connector replacement. Although, testing a UPC network does not require a UPC unit, using an APC/UPC test jumper (included with the iOLM) or a launch fiber (SPSB) ensures compatibility.
Recommended Test Method
EXFO recommends using a 150-meter launch cable (SPSB) to exclude the loss of the iOLM’s connector or to allow UPC network testing. It will also extend the instrument’s connector life by reducing the number of matings—ultimately improving the cost of ownership.
