Sunrise Telecom Inc.’s FTT-1000 optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) is one of the smallest and lightest units in its class, according to the maker. Providing excellent dynamic range that can measure >200 km of fiber length and small dead zones, it is designed for installation and troubleshooting/maintenance of access, metro, and long haul networks. With a battery life of more than eight continuous hours on a single charge, technicians can test fiber optic cables without interruption in virtually any environment, said the supplier.

The FTT-1000 includes noise filtering, 4pt least square approximation (LSA) for splice loss measurement, automatic and manual mode configuration, and standard Bellcore GR-196 format for storage. The test system is available in two and three wavelengths, each with high dynamic range and small event and attenuation dead zones, ensuring users can select the best solution for their specific application.

The FTT-1000’s rugged, splash-proof design provides added protection against mechanical shock often encountered in field use. Its bright, color LCD touch screen and intuitive navigation make it straightforward to configure and operate for technicians of various skill sets, from beginner to expert, said Sunrise Telecom. Plus, it features a WinCE operating system and includes USB and 10Base-T ports for data transfer, as well as PCMCIA and CF slots for additional storage memory.

The FTT-1000 is available immediately in two models, the FTT-1002 and FTT-1003 with 1310/1550 nm and 1310/1550/1625 nm wavelengths respectively.
