AQ1200 MFT-OTDR OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER
The AQ1200 is the newest addition to Yokogawa's OTDR product family offering an even smaller and lighter alternative to the AQ7275 models.
Like the larger AQ7275, it also offers an industry leading 0.8m event dead zone as well as the convenient capability to display a fiber connector inspection probe using one of the unit's standard USB I/O ports.
Tradeoffs compared to the larger AQ7275 include omission of the built-in launch fiber option, limited to SMF fiber only and a reduced dynamic range of 32dB.

Functions
Functions for field testing are integrated into a compact box
The AQ1200 Multi-Field-Tester OTDR is a compact and lightweight handheld OTDR with functionality optimized for the installation and maintenance of optical fiber cables and equipped with functions and operability that make the field testing easier. The AQ1200 offers three models, each of which has unique wavelength(s) based on their application. It is the test solution that improves work efficiency and quality.
OTDR
Wavelength:
- SM 1310/1550 nm (AQ1200A)
SM 1625 nm (AQ1200B)
SM 1650 nm (AQ1200C)
Auto Loss Test (Option)
Loss measurement with LS & OPM interlockAQ1200's light source can transmit wavelength information, so that AQ1200's optical powermeter can make measurements at a right wavelength at the other end. Moreover, the AQ1200A's light source and optical powermeter can switch between two wavelengths (1310 and 1550 nm) automatically; therefore, the optical powermeter can make measurements at right wavelengths, changing the wavelength along with the light source.
Measurement result storage and report output
Measurement results can be saved in the internal storage or external USB storage media, and the measurement report can be generated in CSV format.
Multicore Loss Testing (Option)
Work as Master & Slave using the communication fiber
The master unit can share the project information such as the core number table and measurement conditions with the slave unit by sending them through the communication fiber in the cable under test.
PON Optical PowerMeter*
Simultaneous 1490 & 1550 nm measurement
The PON power meter can measure the optical power both at 1490 nm and at 1550 nm simultaneously by separating those wavelengths. Suitable tool for measuring the optical power of OLT and V-OLT.
Visible Light Source (Option)
The visible light source enables to identify a single core out of multicore fiber and find a break point in a launch area visually. This feature works even when OTDR is in use, so that you can search for a next fiber to test, while OTDR is measuring one fiber.
*:/VLS option is required to use this function.
Fault Locator
Find a fiber break point easily and rapidly.
Pressing one button initiates a measurement and event search and then clearly indicates the location of a fiber break. Waveform analysis can be done by simply switching over to OTDR
function.

IP Test (option)
IPv4 PING
For testing network connections by sending PING through the optional LAN interface, no need to bring a PC. Variable frame length and trasmission intervals.
Video Fiber Inspection Probe
With a video fiber inspection probe connected to USB interface, the AQ1200 can show an image of the fiber end on the screen to visually inspect scratches and dirtiness. The video image can be saved in the internal memory or external USB storage media.
