Optical Time Domain Reflectometer AQ7275 (DISCONTINUED)

Notice: This product was discontinued on 14.12.31. See these replacement products:

The AQ7275 is one of the best selling OTDRs in the world. Model lineup has been expanded to a total of 9 models to choose from with a dynamic range of up to 45dB . Wavelength capability spans from 850nm (MMF) to 1650nm (SMF). An impressive 0.8m event dead zone makes this model an excellent choice for FTTH and metro, core networks.

Enhancements include a PON option allowing accurate event analysis after a 1x32 splitter with significantly reduced undershoot effects. Also unique to the industry is a built-in section of launch fiber to eliminate the need for a separate launch box.

Latest standard features includes the convenient capability to display a fiber connector inspection probe using one of the unit's standard USB I/O ports.

Event Dead Zone 0.8 m

Accompanying the rapid proliferation of FTTH is a growing need for detection of reflective events arising from short distance mechanical connections. The AQ7275’s short event dead zone enables detection of closely spaced events in cables installed in offices and customer premises.

High Dynamic Range up to 43 dB (45dB typical)

The new High Dynamic range model (735034) can achieve the dynamic range of 40 dB. This high dynamic range is effective in measuring a transmission line consisting of long fiber cables and a splitter with a large loss. AQ7275 WEB Modify 3

Quick Startup within 10 Seconds

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!

Stabilized Light Source

This light source option can be used for measuring losses. It can also be used for optical fiber identification, because it is capable of outputting not only continuous wave (CW) light but also a 270-Hz modulated light.

* The stabilized light source option cannot be used for the 735041 (MMF).

Visible Light Source

This option can be used for identifying the multicore fiber cable and visually checking for a failure. The adopting the connector connection method enables the visible light to reach greater distances with less light leakage.

* The visible light source option cannot be used for the 735036, 735037, and 735041.

Built-in Dummy Fiber

You can use the dummy fiber to effectively detect abnormal near-end connection loss.

* The dummy fiber option cannot be used for the 735041.
* The built-in dummy fiber is not attachable and removable.

Optical Power Monitor

 This is useful for simply checking optical power when performing link loss testing or troubleshooting.

* The optical power monitor option cannot be used for the 735031 and 735041 (MMF).

Angled-PC Connector

You can connect an optical fiber with an angled-PC connector directly to the OTDR. The angled PC is often used for CATV networks to reduce the influence of reflection.

External Large Capacity Battery

Useful Support Functions

Checking the Connection with the OTDR

- Plug Check Function

You can detect poor connections and dirty plugs

The plug check function monitors the condition of the optical 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. It is also useful for helping technicians to remember to connect the fiber under test.

Detecting Fault Events

- Fault Event Display Function

The fault event display function detects and displays abnormal connection or reflection points. Of the events detected by this function, abnormal events that cross a specified threshold value are highlighted in the event table and waveform display.

Measurement with Comparison to Reference Waveform

- Trace Fix Function

This function enables you to freeze the display of one waveform and overlap it on real-time or averaged waveforms. This is useful for creating 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 for use as a reference waveform.  Tm Aq7275 17

USB Function

The AQ7275 has two USB 1.1 compliant connector ports as standard (Type A and Type B).
Type A port is for USB memory and USB hard disk drivefor storage.
Type B port is for connecting external PC. AQ7275 can be remotely controlled from external PC, and an internal memory of AQ7275 can be accessed from external PC directly.

Multi Fiber Measurement Function

The Multi fiber measurement function automatically performs measurements and data-filing according to a pre-established file name table. At worksite, you can execute it by simply selecting a fiber number in the table.
The saved waveform can be easily shown in the preview window by selecting the core number in the table.
The OTDR Project File Editor included in AQ7932 Emulation Software greatly saves time to create file name table.

Multi Core Trace Comparison Function

Communication services must be interrupted when existing fiber optic cables are rerouted due to construction work of roads and buildings. This function minimizes the duration of the interruption by improving the efficiency of the rerouting work.
A waveform is measured before and after the work and compared against one another to determine a pass/fail condition using a user defined threshold criteria.
This function also enables the management of cores of a multicore fiber optic cable by number and color. This prevents the user from measuring a wrong core.
Numbers for measured cores are marked with check marks. This prevents the same core from being measured multiple times plus ensures no cores are overlooked.

Macro Bending Function

If there is a bend in the optical fiber, the longwavelength loss is higher at the location of the bend.
This function uses this characteristic to locate macro bends by measuring the same line at multiple wavelengths.

Scheduling Function

Fiber optic networks are known to be subject to seasonal failures such as one caused by freezing. Such
failures are restored automatically after several minutes to several hours. Thus the failure cannot be located due to the temporary nature of the fault.
The scheduling function performs measurements automatically in the specified period and saves the
measurement data automatically to an external USB flash drive. The AQ7932 Emulation Software on a PC is
used to call up the data before and after the fault event from a large amount of data automatically saved to the USB flash drive, and analyze the chronological changes in the waveform to locate the failure.
In addition, the remote control software provides support for measurements using the scheduling function, by providing a function to transfer the data stored in the USB flash drive to the PC via a network cable; a tool
that detects a data file containing a change exceeding the threshold from a large number of data files; and a tool that batch calculates losses between two points.
