Simplify Your Fiber Maintenance Workflow Traditionally, telecom engineers had to carry separate instruments: an identifier to find the right cable in a messy manhole, and an OTDR to measure loss or find breaks. The TRK200 Optical Cable Identifier OTDR revolutionizes this process by combining both essential functions into a single, rugged handheld unit. It is the ultimate solution for resource census, cable cutovers, and emergency repairs in FTTx, Metro, and Backbone networks.
Precise Identification (OCID Mode) Using advanced coherent detection technology, the TRK200 allows a single technician to identify a specific target cable from a bundle up to 100km away. simply by knocking on it. The instrument converts the vibration into visual (ECG/Bar) and audio signals, ensuring 100% accuracy without disrupting service or damaging the fiber.
Powerful Diagnostics (OTDR Mode) Switching modes instantly, the TRK200 becomes a fully featured OTDR. With a dynamic range of up to 38dB and a short dead zone, it accurately measures fiber length, splice loss, and locates breaks. Whether you are dealing with PC or APC connectors, or even broken cable ends, the TRK200 adapts to the environment to get the job done efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The TRK200 is an "Enhanced" version that adds a full-featured OTDR module. While the TK200 is purely for cable identification, the TRK200 allows you to both identify the cable and measure its length, loss, and fault locations, saving you from carrying two separate devices.
Yes. The TRK200 has strong environmental adaptability. It can identify cables even if the end is broken or has an APC connector, which is often a limitation for other identifiers.
The TRK200-100C model is designed for long-distance sensing and can identify cables up to 100km away. The standard TRK200-40A model covers up to 40km, suitable for most metro applications.
Yes. The device comes with a 16GB SD card capable of storing over 10,000 traces. You can transfer data to a PC via USB for report generation.
