DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The new series (2013) of inexpensive compact touch reflectometers EXFO MaxTester 700B includes three models: MaxTester 715B (with dynamic range up to 30 dB), Max Tester 720B (with dynamic range up to 36 dB) and older model MaxTester 730B (with dynamic range up to 39 dB).

The MaxTester 715B model is intended mainly for measurements on single-mode access networks (the so-called "last mile"), including active networks (only M2 modification), as well as in single-mode fiber optic structured cabling systems (SCS). For operation in mixed optical networks that use both single-mode and multimode fibers, see compact measuring platform EXFO FTB-1.

The EXFO MaxTester 715B reflectometer uses the most advanced optical components, thanks to which it provides record-breaking small dead zones: up to 1 meter in event (EDZ) and up to 4 meters in attenuation (ADZ). MaxTester 715B also supports all popular connection interfaces: USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi (option), Bluetooth (option).

Fiber Line Block Diagram View (iOLM Mode)

In addition to displaying the traditional reflectogram of a fiber optic line, the EXFO MaxTester 715B reflectometer (with the option iOLM) can display the line as a visual flowchart with automatic check of connectors, splices and other events according to specified criteria. In this case, good sections of the line are shown in green, and defective - in red. This mode is convenient for beginners who find it difficult to figure out which section of the fiber is good and which needs to be corrected.

Please note that Tehencom LLC conducts both paid and free scatter measurement training (theory + practice) with the issuance of a personal certificate, and also organizes annual free technical seminars on measurements on data networks.

The EXFO MaxTester 715B reflectometer is compatible with the EXFO FIP-400B microscope

According to statistics, more than half of all failures on a working optical network occur due to problems associated with connectors (patch cords and patch panels). With a microscope EXFO FIP-400B you can visually assess the quality of polishing and the degree of contamination of optical connectors, and the software ConnectorMax2 allows you to fully automate the verification of connectors for compliance with IEC (IEC), IPC, as well as criteria specified by the user.

Easy to use and compact EXFO MaxTester 715B

In addition to excellent performance and low price, reflectometer EXFO MaxTester 715B stands out for its ultra-compact dimensions, but at the same time, it has a large 17.8 cm widescreen touch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, which provides comfortable and fast work when viewing traces and saving measurement results. Note that the 715B weighs only 1.3 kg with battery, and the charge lasts 12 hours offline work.
