Description
OptiConcepts FiberWarrior OTDR offers a state-of-the-art system for testing, troubleshooting, and documenting optical fiber networks. Combining a high performance processor, sophisticated signalprocessing, and an advanced software design, the FiberWarrior provides users with a high quality solution for analyzing optical fiber in both the field and lab. The small, lightweight design allows for easy portability,storage, and reduced bench-top space while the aluminum enclosure and specially engineered protectivebumpers enhance field ruggedness.
The performance of the FiberWarrior OTDR will leave you amazed at the speed and accuracy in which optical fibers are fully analyzed and stored to an internal disk. By using high performance avalanche photodiodes, lasers, and sophisticated A/D circuitry, the FiberWarrior significantly reduces test times as compared to other OTDRs. Additionally, the proprietary PWRScan system is designed to quickly and accurately automate the process of trace interpretation to greatly assist the process of understanding the condition of the fiber network.
Through a simple graphical user interface, FiberWarrior becomes a window to viewing the health of your optical system by utilizing three modes of operation: Average Mode, Real-time Mode, and Auto-Test Mode. Average Mode works by quickly and effectively increasing the signal to noise ratio so that anomalies and events within the system are accurately identified and measured. Using Average Mode, the OTDR confirms whether the physical fiber network is within the proper operational parameters or not by providing the user with a clean scan of the optical waveguide. Next, Real-time Mode offers a unique way of assisting the user during the installation of optical components and troubleshooting by showing the immediate state of the fiber. In this mode, users can more readily identify faults that are intermittent and hard to find. Additionally, components, such as fusion splices and connectors can be optimized for lowest loss and minimal reflection by using the FiberWarrior in Real-time Mode. Lastly, Auto-Test Mode is a great tool for commissioning and documenting newly deployed fiber systems by automating repetitive steps such as searching for system events and naming files in a logical manner, then provides an ultra easy system of documenting your fiber network.
The elegant design of the FiberWarrior Test Platform features a high-quality 8.4” TFT LCD touchscreen that allows the best possible user experience by providing an interface that is easy to view in both dark and bright environments (including sunlight) and vivid, high-contrast color to easily identify specific network elements and user controls. The centrally positioned screen fills the front of the unit while visually optimizing OTDR traces, graphs, tables, and other technical information through the carefully designed interface. The customizable touchscreen further enhances and simplifies usability by eliminating cumbersome buttons and controls.
Last, but certainly not least, is the expandability of the test platform to include many other testing modules, including power meters, optical sources, and visual fault locators. The scaleable design will significantly reduce the cost of future testing requirements as well as simplify and reduce additional training necessary with other stand-alone optical test solutions. What's more, the USB and Ethernet ports instantly allows a virtually unlimited number of devices and connectivity methods to save traces, network, print, and email to assist and enhance your optical testing experience.
