Discontinued OTDR Optical Reflectometers

General information

All manufacturers of optical reflectometers (OTDR) regularly develop and put into production new models with enhanced features and improved performance. After some time, after the start of sales of new models, old models and series are discontinued.

After the cessation of production of a particular model, we continue to support it: service and repair. As a rule, after being discontinued, factory repairs are possible for 5 years or more. After the stock of original microcircuits and spare parts in the service center is exhausted, professional factory repair becomes impossible.

Discontinued models of optical reflectometers

List of discontinued models, indicating the proposed replacement, see the table below.
