The Optical Wave Expert integrates channel power validation and reflectometry characterization on a single port. This means that technicians can automatically identify faulty channels and follow through with fault location by leveraging OTDR or iOLM (intelligent Optical Link Mapper) capabilities.

Technicians can now perform instant channel power readings through an intuitive GUI environment and seamlessly benefit from tunable OTDR capabilities. The rugged and compact MaxTester platform provides the most efficient and practical form factor for field use.

The integration of channel checker and OTDR capabilities on a single port means less unnecessary manipulation of the optical fiber and improved field efficiency. This translates into faster mean time to repair and makes the trial and error approach – which can disable nodes – obsolete.
