CS260-10 Handheld FTTH PON Troubleshooting OTDR

The CS260-10 Contractor Series Live PON OTDR is an ideal tool for fiber optic  technicians installing, activating and troubleshooting FTTx PON distribution and drop fibers from the splitter to the ONT.
The CS260-10 provides an out-of-band 1625 nm OTDR with filtered detector, enabling Live PON testing without disrupting service on an active PON. It additionally includes an integrated PON power meter to automatically detect and measure downstream 1490 and 1550 nm signal levels.
The CS260-10 is also suitable for out-of-service testing. As longer wavelengths are more sensitive to bending losses, the CS260-10 OTDR will detect excess losses induced by micro- or macro-bends.

Description

The CS260-10 provides extremely short event and attenuation dead zones (0.8 and 3.5 m, respectively), enabling closely spaced events to be detected and measured in distribution and drop fibers. With 35 dB dynamic range, the CS260-10 is able to test through PON splitters having split ratios up to 1×64, enabling detection of poor splices or excess bending losses at the splitter.
Add optional new LinkMap® upgrade to simplify results interpretation. LinkMap displays the tested network using colored icons to represent passing or failing connectors, splices, splitters, and faults.
To further aid in locating faults within access points, splice closures or indoor cabling, the CS260-10 includes an integrated Visual Fault Locator (visible red laser).
The CS260-10 is extremely easy to use. It provides fully automatic OTDR parameter selection, automatic event table generation, and end-to-end length, loss and ORL summary. For expert users, the CS260-10 also allows full control of OTDR parameters (range, pulse width, averaging time, etc.).
Over 1000 OTDR test results may be saved in industry-standard .SOR file format. Stored OTDR results may be transferred to PC via USB port for viewing, analysis, and professional report generation using included Windows® compatible TRM® 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software.

Applications

  • Verify FTTx PON fiber installations: Measure loss and reflectance of individual splices, connectors and splitters, as well as end-to-end length, loss and opticalreturn loss.
  • Troubleshoot Live PONs: Verify downstream PON power levels. Locate source(s) of excess loss or reflectance in distribution or drop fibers on in-service FTTx PON using out-of-band 1625 nm Live PON OTDR with filtered detector.
  • Visibly trace fibers or locate fiber bends or breaks: Use integrated VFL visible red laser to visibly detect light emanating from fiber breaks or macrobends.
