The OTDR 800 is the newest handheld OTDR from Ripley’s ODM® brand that provides test technicians and contractors with an all-in-one solution for testing optical reflection and loss in fiber networks.

Its compact, ergonomic design is easily portable. The OTDR 800 is one of the smallest and lightest OTDR’s on the market weighing under 1.5 lbs. It features an adjustable, ambidextrous hand-strap and protective rubberized boot that makes testing a breeze in virtually any location.

Quickly select from a wide variety of wavelength configurations and easily view the test results in an event table with PASS/FAIL analysis for each reflective event. Individual events can be inspected manually using the event selection feature or automatically with the device’s built-in pass/fail function. After testing, easily transfer trace files to an Android smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth®, or to a Windows computer by USB with the free ODM® brand OpTrace software.

The ODM OTR 700 gives test technicians and contractors all the tools necessary for testing optical reflection and loss in fiber networks. The optional video scope allows for extensive options in endface inspection, ensuring industry acceptable optical connections. The unit comes in single mode (1310/1550nm), multi-mode (850/1300nm), or quad wavelength configurations, making the OTR 700 the perfect option for both single mode and multi mode installations.

Power Meter and/or Light Source are optional with all OTR 700 units. With these add-ons, technicians can test for dB loss in trunk and sector fibers to confirm that each fiber is functioning correctly.

The OTR 700 offers an event table with PASS/FAIL analysis for each reflective event, and the 1 meter dead zone provides accurate reflective event testing in all fiber systems. Each event can be inspected manually using the event selection feature or automatically with the device’s built-in pass/fail function. The OTR 700’s schematic trace view allows technicians to see just the most important parts of each trace with pertinent data attached.

The OTDR’s touch screen and simple user interface ensure quick and easy testing in all situations.
