The NOYES FLX380 FlexTester

is the world’s smallest, lightest, most complete single mode fiber optic test set. It combines high-

performance, multi-wavelength OTDR / PON OTDR, OLS, OPM, VFL and PON Power Meter in a rugged, hand-held package.

With 41 dB dynamic range, best-in-class event, attenuation, and PON dead zones, macrobend and splitter detection, launch quality
check, plus AFL’s unique ServiceSafe and Wave ID features, the FLX380 FlexTester

Series offers an unmatched combination of optical

test functions, ease-of-use, portability, and value. FlexTester

Series is offered in four models to best suit your application requirements:

•

FLX380-304: Verify both in-service (live) and out-of-service FTTx networks from a single port. Includes 1310/1550/1650 nm live PON
OTDR with integrated PON Power Meter.

•

FLX380-303: Similar to FLX380-304, but with 1625 nm filtered Live PON OTDR, instead of 1650 nm.

•

FLX380-302: Complete out-of-service testing at all FTTx PON wavelengths (1310/1490/1550 nm).

•

FLX380-300: Lowest cost, high-performance, all-in-one 1310/1550 nm OTDR for out-of-service installation testing or troubleshooting
on both FTTx PON and point-to-point fiber optic networks.

•

All models include integrated VFL plus Wave ID source and power meter.

Over 1000 OTDR test results (Telcordia SR-4731 .SOR file format) may be saved in the FLX380’s internal 4GB memory. Stored OTDR
and OPM results may be transferred to PC via USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth

. Windows

•

Certify new FTTx PON or point-to-point fiber installations, including splice, splitter and
connector loss and reflectance, end-to-end length, loss and optical return loss (ORL).

•

Troubleshoot live FTTx PONs, including live PON detection and PON power
measurements plus live PON OTDR testing at 1625 or 1650 nm.

•

Complete multi-wavelength end-to-end insertion loss tests faster and eliminate setup
errors using AFL’s Wave ID loss test feature.

•

Generate stable optical source signals (CW, Wave ID or fiber-identifying tones) using the
integrated Optical Laser Source.

•

Trace fibers or locate fiber bends or breaks using the VFL (visible red laser).
