High Dynamic Range up to 40dB
The high dynamic range of the AQ7270 enables accurate measurement of optical fibers in short periods of time. This makes it a powerful tool for evaluation of metro networks with relay distances in excess of 100 km, or FTTH (PON) and other short optical fiber networks with large insertion loss originating from optical couplers.
Less than 10 sec. Power-up Time
It's ready when you're ready!
Now measurements can be started quickly upon arrival at the site. 10 seconds to power-up from completely OFF to fully ON! With such a fast power-up time, battery life can be extended by turning the power off while not in use at the job site without any concern about the power-up time when the next job is ready. It's ready when you're ready!
The worldwide spread of broadband services has stimulated the installation of optical fiber in metro and access networks, which in turn has increased the demand for portable and reliable test equipment to aid the installation and maintenance of these networks.
Our new OTDR has been developed to address these challenges with particular aims of improving operability to boost work efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The AQ7270 carries forward the basic operation of its predecessors (the AQ7250 and AQ7260 OTDR), while adding a Detail mode for trained technicians with functions for setting of measurement conditions and performing manual measurements.

Measurement Wizard Menu
|
Active Line Alarm
| Never disturb communication lines There may be concern that technicians inputting the OTDR measurement signal into the communication line could cause communication errors. The live line alarm monitors the fiber’s optical power level and diplays an alarm message if it detects optical power at or higher than a specified threshold level, in order to warn the technician not to mistakenly feed the signal into the communication line. |
Active Line Alarm Message |
Plug Check Function
|
Never spoil measurements with poor connections or dirty plugs The plug check function monitors the condition of the OTDR's optical input/output connectors and displays an alarm if the connection is not properly made. This function is useful for checking for damage, dirt, or other problems with optical plugs at the OTDR or on the fiber under test, and for helping technicians to remember to connect the fiber under test. |
Plug Check Alarm Message |
Fault Event Display Function
| Detecting Abnormal Events
The fault event display function detects abnormal connection or reflection points and displays them. Of the events detected by the event detection function, abnormal events that cross a specified threshold value are highlighted in the event table and waveform display. |
Trace Fix Function
|
Measurement with Comparison to a Reference Trace You can freeze the display of one trace and overlap it with real time or averaged waveforms for comparison.This is useful to create a template when installing multicore fiber, or for checking aged deterioration during maintenance on existing fiber networks. In addition to the last-measured waveform, a waveform can be loaded from a file to be used as the reference waveform. |
Trace Fix Function |
Setup Key
| Jump to Measurement Condition Settings With the new SETUP button on the front panel, it is easy to move to the measurement condition setting menu. |
|
Trace Analysis Functions
| Multi Trace Analysis For Evaluation of Multicore Fiber Up to four traces can be overlaid on the display for analysis and comparison. This is useful for evaluating connection point locations and loss after installing multicore fiber. |
 |
2 Way Trace Analysis
| For Accurate Splice Loss Measurement by Bi-directional Testing Merges the two traces measured from both directions and finds the correct splice loss. Connection point loss in lines where optical fibers of differing backscatter coefficients are connected can differ depending on the direction. In such cases, you can accurately determine the loss by measuring in both directions and taking an average. |
 |
Differential Trace Analysis
| For Evaluation of Aged Deterioration Displays the difference between two specified traces. Makes it simple to check aged deterioration of fibers or connection points, or fluctuation in loss between fibers, and other phenomena. |
 |
Section Analysis
|
For Evaluation of Total Return Loss Finds the total return loss in specific portions of the fiber. This type of evaluation is often requested because the multiple reflections from optical fiber networks can affect signal light from transmitters (cable TV etc.). |
 |
Smart File Function
Trace data can be saved in SOR and CSV format. Also, you can save screens as BMP, JPG, or PNG files. TRB or TRD files saved on Yokogawa's previous AQ7250 and AQ7260 models can also be loaded.
Language Selection
In addition to English (standard), you can select a display language of French, German, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and others.
USB Function
USB connectivity makes it more convenient to output to external memory or printers, and to set up communication. The AQ7270 comes standard with two USB1.1 compliant connector ports (Type A and Type B).
