Overview
From Deviser Instruments’ 4th generation of OTDR, the fieldportable AE3100 marks a giant leap forward in fiber-optic
measurement performance and utility. The new M series adds
multi-mode testing capabilities up to 4 wavelengths and 43dB
dynamic range.
Featuring intuitive touchscreen controls and real-time data
analysis, the AE3100 is the ideal test instrument for constructing,
deploying, maintaining, and authenticating FTTx networks
– as well as verifying access networks. Multiple models and
configuration options ensure your unique measurement needs
are covered.
Applications
Construction, deployment, maintenance, and authentication
of the following networks:
• Local Area Networks
• Data Centres
• Long Haul Networks
• Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)
• Process Plants and Industrial Sites
FiberPath™
FiberPath simplifies the interpretation of OTDR traces by
identifying link elements and displaying the link map in an
easy-to-understand format. Experienced and inexperienced
technicians alike will appreciate the simplified display.
Remote Control
In conjunction with the SYNCOR PC-based asset and test
data management system, users can issue test orders and
collect measurement data remotely from AE3100 units
deployed to the field.
OTDR
This high-performing OTDR supports up to four wavelengths
and is the ideal solution for testing the fiber in RFoG and FTTx
applications. The OTDR can identify and locate link impairments
and measure the insertion loss by LSA, 2Pt and 4Pt methods. The
unit also measures optical return loss (ORL). display.
Optical Measurements
The AE3100 includes a suite of optical measurement tools,
including a power meter, laser source, and visual fault
locator (shown below). The unit is available in numerous
wavelength configurations for ensuring proper levels in
networks such as RFoG and FTTx.
