CATV Operators: One Unit for All Backreflection,
Fiber-Length and Loss Measurement Needs
As video-on-demand is on the verge of becoming the next big thing, bandwidth and distance are increasing and fiber tolerances are
becoming more and more stringent. Related analog transmission systems use high power up to 26 dBm. As a result, network engineers
need to worry about potentially high backreflection—mostly caused by dirty or damaged connectors—and perform fiber-length
measurements.
In short, CATV test crews need a backreflection meter, an OTDR (for measuring fiber length), a video fiber inspection probe and a
bidirectional, dual- or triple-wavelength loss meter. Choosing the FOT-930 combines all these functionalities in a compact, easy-to-
carry unit.
Key Advantages for CATV Operators
• Automated ORL measurement based on pass/fail thresholds
• GeX detector, for high-power measurement up to 26 dBm
• Video fiber inspection probe, for easy viewing of connectors and fiber ends on the FOT-930’s high-resolution display
The FOT-930’s colored pass/fail indicators help you quickly identify
unacceptable ORL values..
