Test Functions and Tools
Your Optical Xplorer offers functions and tools to help you with common
testing situations such as fiber break location, optical link verification,
identification and location of common causes of networks failure.
Each test functions offers an increasing level of detail.
Flash Advisor™: Offers a quick verification of the continuity and overall
quality of simple fiber links. This function, which is selected by default,
measures the link length, the insertion loss and the ORL.
Fault Xplorer: Provides an overall verification of fiber links as well as an
automatic identification and investigation of potential causes of failure.
This function measures the link length, the insertion loss, the ORL, the
loss, the reflectance, and the distance to faults. It also localizes the
connectors and identifies the fault types such as splices or
macrobends.
Link Mapper: Provides the mapping of the optical link including fiber
sections and all detectable elements over the link. This function
measures the link length, the insertion loss, the ORL, the loss, the
reflectance, the distance to elements and identifies the element types
such as splices, connectors and macrobends.
Note: Basic models do not offer the Link Mapper function.
