The M600 is
a rugged, field-portable, and very user friendly mini-OTDR. When
equipped with multimode and singlemode modules, it is the ideal
OTDR for technicians and contractors who test and fault-locate premises,
access, metro, and broad-band fiber networks.
The M600 offers
automatic and manual setup modes to meet the needs of both novice
and experienced users.
The M600 OTDR
or "optical time domain reflectometer" tests an optical
fiber link, while having access to only one end of the link, by
generating short pulses of light, sampling reflected light as a
function of time, and converting these samples into a graph or "trace"
of insertion loss versus distance. Based on the shape of the trace
the M600 can locate and analyze fiber link "events" such
as connections, splices, bends, and breaks.
Traces can be
saved to internal non-volatile memory, CompactFlash (removable
mass storage device) capable of storing over 1500 traces, or floppy
disks. Using the supplied CompactFlash reader (USB) or floppy
disk, saved traces can be transferred to a PC for archiving, printing,
and analyzing with the supplied Trace600 Windows software.
The Trace600
batch printing feature is an efficient way to generate hard copy
documentation for certification.
Each saved trace
is identified using an eight character file name and an optional
30 character cable identifier. To speed up the fiber identification
process, the M600 can automatically increment and include a fiber
number in each file name.
Text may be entered by using the supplied keyboard or by selecting
the appropriate letters and numbers from a menu on the M600 display.
The M600 OTDR
may be equipped with a Visible Fault Identifier (VFI) module. The
VFI module is a 650 nm visible red laser source designed to troubleshoot
faults on fiber optic cables.
Light generated
by the VFI module will escape from sharp bends and breaks in jacketed
or bare fibers, as well as poorly mated connectors. Thus, the VFI
can identify faults in fiber optic jumper cables, distribution frames,
patch panels, and splice trays.
The VFI module
is an excellent compliment to an OTDR because it can locate faults
inside the OTDR's dead-zone. Other applications include end-to-end
continuity checks, identifying connectors in patch panels, and identifying
fibers during splicing operations.
The universal
connector interface provides fast operation with many connector
styles without changing an adapter.
