The Wilcom FiberRanger3 is a lightweight, handheld mini-OTDR in a rugged enclosure that is impact-resistant and waterproof. The fast, easy-to-use Optical Time Domain Reflectometer with core functions required to measure optical fibre from one end during installation, repair and verification. This unit is ideal for field and maintenance of new or existing fibre networks.
The mini-OTDR produces a scan within one second of pressing the scan button. It also features a Zoom function that enables the user to observe the entire link, or zoom in on defects. This unit is available in multimode or singlemode with single, dual, tri or quad wavelengths making it ideal for LAN, Metro or fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) applications.
Each unit is capable of measuring splice loss, link attenuation and distance. The single-mode and or multimode output port(s) use high-powered pulsed lasers. The QVGA monochrome display provides a powerful yet simple set of fibre parameters and control indications to view an entire fibre link or zoom in and analyse a splicing point or a defect in the fibre. The display shows fibre loss versus distance in its large central graph as well as individual and dual cursor measurements, and important instrument parameters such as Index of Refraction, pulse width, scanning speed, and a battery gauge.
