AQ1000 Compact Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
Last Mile Confidence Where Value Meets Performance
The AQ1000 OTDR is engineered to help field teams move faster and work more efficiently during FTTH and optical access network deployments, with a compact, lightweight design built for real-world field use.
As an entry-level solution, it maintains Yokogawa’s proven performance and reliability, complemented by features often associated with higher-tier models, including a multi-touch display and wireless connectivity.
Key Features
- Wavelengths: 1310 / 1550 nm
- Dynamic ranges: 32 / 30 dB
- Size: 185 mm (W) × 116 mm (H) × 56 mm (D) ( 7.3" (W) × 4.6" (H) × 2.2" (D) )
- Weight: 660 g ( 1.46 Lbs )
Multi-Touch + Hard-Key Interface
Operate the AQ1000 through the multi-touch display or dedicated buttons. In normal conditions, the high-resolution 5.0-inch capacitive touchscreen supports intuitive gestures like tap, swipe, and pinch for fast navigation.
Field environments aren’t always ideal. That’s why it also includes hard-key buttons, giving operators reliable control when working with gloves, in cold weather, or in situations where touchscreens are less responsive. This design ensures work doesn’t slow down when conditions change.
One-button Measurement
Full-Auto
By simply pressing one single button, the AQ1000 initiates an OTDR measurement, detects and comprehensively characterizes network events with PASS/FAIL judgment based on user-defined thresholds. The measurement data can be saved automatically if desired.
OTDR View Modes
Trace view
Traditional view with OTDR waveforms and event markers.
Map view
Simple, icon-based map view for easy interpretation of network events.
All Day Battery Life
No worrying about running out of battery power during your daily work. The AQ1000’s high capacity Li-Ion battery will last for 10 hours under the Telcordia standard conditions.
Quick Boot-up
From completely OFF to measurement ready in under 10 seconds.
PDF Reporting
Built-in post-processing software for generating OTDR reports in PDF format. Flexible configuration of report template to meet users’ report requirements.
Key Measurement Functions
- Distance measurement
- Loss measurement
- Return loss measurement (Total/Section)
- Auto event search
- Pass/Fail judgment
- Real-Time
Simple and fast way to observe how the network connection looks like and make a Pass/Fail judgment of the network connection. The markers enables distance and loss measurements.
Built-in PC and LS, and VLS
Power checker (PC)
Measures and displays optical power of incoming light for testing network performance.
Light source (LS)
Outputs a stable, continuouswave/modulated light for measuring end-to-end attenuation accurately when paired with an optical power sensor.
Visible light source (VLS)
Outputs red light for checking continuity of launch numbers or short number trunks. Breaks and bending in number can be identified visually.
(/VLS option is required.)
Data handling features
Direct data saving
Simply pressing “Direct save” icon, measured data can be saved in SOR or PDF format according to users’ prior selection.
Data Transfer
Data files or PDF report files that are stored in the AQ1000 can easily be transferred to a PC through a USB connection.
Wireless LAN
The AQ1000 is capable of data transfer and remote control in cooperation with wireless LAN capable devices.
Wireless data transfer
The AQ1000’s data files can be transferred to a smartphone or tablet using the OTDR data transporter, or to PC using the OTDR Remote Controller software.
Remote control
The AQ1000 can be controlled remotely by a smartphone or tablet using a web browser and by a PC using a web browser or the OTDR remote controller.
Note:
/WLN option is required. Please consult with our sales representatives for availability in your country.
The OTDR Data Transporter and the OTDR Remote Controller are a free application software.
