TR600 Series Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
Overview:
The G-LINK TR600 series Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a high-performance portable instrument designed for efficient and precise fiber optic network testing. With its compact and lightweight design, coupled with powerful and user-friendly operation, the TR600 is an indispensable tool for optical cable construction, maintenance, and monitoring. It is engineered to meet the comprehensive measurement needs of FTTx, metropolitan area networks, and backbone networks.
Key Features:
- User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with a large-area touchscreen and convenient shortcut keys for easy operation.
- Extended Battery Life: Features a large-capacity polymer lithium battery, providing ultra-long working hours (≥8 hours) for prolonged outdoor operations.
- FTTx Compatibility: Specifically designed to meet FTTx testing requirements.
- Multi-Wavelength Options: Multiple wavelengths are available for selection.
- Robust Design: Features a sturdy casing design, making it dustproof and shockproof.
- Automatic Measurement Mode: Simply select the measurement wavelength, and the TR600 automatically sets measurement parameters, saves trace data, and analyzes traces.
- Multi-Wavelength Measurement Mode: Allows for automatic wavelength switching during measurement setup to analyze attenuation status of the same fiber segment at different wavelengths.
- Trace Fixing Function: Enables simultaneous display and comparison of one trace with a real-time or averaged measurement trace, useful for multi-core fiber installation or checking aging fibers.
- Multi-Wavelength Analysis: Provides comparison display and analysis functions for any trace file.
- Live FTTx Testing: Supports online FTTx testing, capable of identifying splitters and fiber ends.
- Optical Communication Detection: Effectively protects both the test instrument and communication equipment.
- Connection Status Detection: Allows for timely understanding of the connection status between the instrument and the fiber under test.
- Measurement Mode Switching: Flexible switching between real-time and average measurement modes via shortcut keys.
- PC Software (TR600 OTDR Traces Manager): Facilitates batch modification, batch printing, generation of various test reports, flexible printing modes (single page single trace, batch printing, single page multi-trace, multi-waveform display), and waveform difference comparison.
- Intelligent Testing: Offers smart testing capabilities, making it simple to use yet powerful in function.
- Ample Storage: Utilizes an SD card as storage medium, providing a large trace storage capacity of over 10,000 traces.
