OTDR Fiber Optic Reflector SM 1310/1550nm 32/30dB BASIC

PalmOTDR S20AE Reflectometer

After purchasing the reflectometer, you can (on request) benefit from free training in our training center or two days of paid training including welding and measurement knowledge.

PalmOTDR optical reflectometers are specialized devices for locating events and fiber optic damage, as well as for printing measurement reports and certification of fiber optic routes. The reflectors in this series offer all standard wavelengths: 850/1300/1310/1490/1550/1625/1650nm (in configuration - one, two or three selected lengths in one device) and different dynamic ranges so that the device can be adapted to any requirement. For example, for normal P2P connections in modern single-mode networks, measurement in windows 1310 and 1550nm will be ideal, multimode cable networks will be measured in windows 850 and 1300nm, verification in the construction phase in passive fiber networks e.g. FTTH in addition to the 1490nm window and solving fiber optic problems in live PON and measurement for large telecoms such as Orange, Netia in their passive networks in the 1625nm window with filter (1650nm in Poland not yet used).

All reflectometers have a menu and full manual in Polish.

PalmOTDR is available in two versions: BASIC and ADVANCED (with additional modules). Version information can be found in the product name and specification table.

• BASIC version - this is only a reflectometer that allows for reflexometric measurements with parameters depending on the model.
• ADVANCED version (VPSI) - the device can be additionally equipped with modules that extend the possibilities of analysis and measurement - built-in OPM optical power meter, visible VFL damage locator, stabilized SLS light source and inspection camera (using appropriate caps/adapters). A full description of these modules can be found below

Each device is accompanied by a calibration certificate (valid for 2 years, another calibration free of charge).

PalmOTDR reflectometers are devices with proven accuracy, so they can work even for the most demanding telecommunications. They are widely used on our market by subcontractors working for e.g. ORANGE, NETIA, INEA, TOYA, etc.

The following certificate concerns the calibration of the PalmOTDR-P31C device, which was carried out at the Polish Institute of Communications. We don't do calibration for every device we sell. Pil calibration should be done for each device on its own. Calibration is not necessary, each reflect meter sold has a calibration certificate issued by the manufacturer.

The certificate and the results of calibration can be found in the "Downloads".

Product specification

Notes to specifications:
The specification describes the guaranteed performance of the instrument, measured with typical PC connectors. Uncertainties resulting from the refection factor of the fibre are not taken into account.
(1) Measured at max. pulse and averaging time of 3 minutes.
(2) Dead zone measurement conditions: reflections. was 0.6 km, then the day before. reflections. was <-45dB, the EDZ is measured with a pulse width of 10ns; The ADZ is measured with a pulse width of 10ns.

The PalmOTDR series offers

• PON power meter - its presence depends on the model. The integrated PON power meter can actively test all PON signals (1310/1490/1550nm) anywhere on the network. We can attach it both between splitters, from the OLT side or at the ONU (ONT) itself. On some models (e.g. P11C and P31C), the built-in PON optical power meter offers measurements in 1310/1490/1550nm windows depending on the ONU or OLT port we use.

• Modern algorithms - thanks to the use of state-of-the-art algorithms, even an operator with a small knowledge resource will be able to correctly interpret events occurring in the fiber using the optional OTDR LinkImage software.

• Testing the active fiber anywhere on the FTTH network (1625nm with filter) and through a splitter (with spliter and end-of-fiber identification) - a technology ideal for a working FTTH PON network (e.g. GPON, EPON, GEPON), does not require us to disconnect the entire network segment if we need to measure e.g. at a new subscriber.

• Optical signal control (real-time) - During the 1310/1490/1550nm wavelength test, the signals transmitted in the tested fibre can not only affect otdr measurement, but also damage networked equipment (SDH/WDM/PON) and OTDR receiver. The palmOTDR series avoids this problem by starting with a pre-test operational communication test (with warning message option and auto-termination functions, in order to actually protect the measuring instrument and communication devices).

• Optimized interface design - graphical user interface (high-resolution color).

• TraceManager software - it allows you to view a trace, analyze events, edit and flexibly print, compare multiple tracks, optional two-way testing, CSV/ASCII report formats.

• OTDR LinkImage software - allows you to image the fiber.

PalmOTDR Modules

The VFL module, stabilized light source (SLS) and optical power meter are standard on -VPSI models. The PON power meter module is standard on the P11C and P31C models.

• Damage Locator Module (VFL)

• Stabilized Light Source Module (SLS) - splits the optical port with palmOTDR and operates at the same working wavelength as palmOTDR

• Optical Power Meter Module (OPM) - does not overheat, offers highly accurate measurement of absolute power value and power loss with zero offset option and reference settings, as well as power monitoring, setting the upper and lower limit

• PON Power Meter Module (PON OPM) - Integrating a PON power meter into a unit as small as palmOTDR improves productivity and makes certification and problem solving in FTTX an exciting experience. The PON power meter module can perform an active test of all PON signals (1310/1490/1550nm) at any point in the network, including pass-through, burst mode and Pass/Warning/Fail estimation functions. This helps to assess the quality of the transmission of PON signals.

• Optical Connector Inspector Module (MCI100) - has fast focus knob, eye-safe and clear video, interchangeable connector tips (male and female, PC and APC, 1.25mm and 2.5mm, etc.)
