Product Description:
CS260-10 FTTx PON Activation and Fault Diagnosis OTDR provides cost-effective fault diagnosis for FTTx PON and point-to-point metro/access networks. The CS260-10 includes a 1625 nm real-time PON OTDR that offers 35 dB dynamic range, best-in-class 0.8m events and 3.5m attenuation dead zones, an integrated PON power meter and visual fault locator (VFL).
The CS260-10 is designed for optical network activation and troubleshooting tasks. With its integrated PON power meter, the CS260-10 can verify downstream 1490 and/or 1550 nm power levels on the FTTx PON ONU or ONT. If the downstream signal is missing or the power is too low, the CS260-10's 1625 nm Live PON OTDR allows technicians to scan the network from the ONU/ONT or network access points to locate fiber failures such as macro bending, breaking, poor splices, and dirty or damaged connectors. Real-time PON OTDR utilizes the out-of-band 1625 nm wavelength to prevent interference with the 1310, 1490, and 1550 nm signals on the online FTTx PON.
The CS260-10 is a derivative of AFL's popular OFL280 and FLX380 FlexTester series, offering the same ease of use, high-contrast indoor/outdoor display and more than 12 hours of continuous battery operation. It also includes an integrated VFL (Visible Red Laser) designed to visually pinpoint the location of macroscopic bends or breaks in the junction box, access terminals, and shunt cabinets.
