An innovative, fast and simple-to-use fibre optic tester, Optical Explorer verifies optical links in seconds and automatically explores further when potential issues are suspected. The OX1 displays fibre link KPIs (length, loss, ORL and power) in under 3 seconds, through single-ended testing.
It’s the first optical fibre multimeter (OFM)—an essential handheld tool for fibre optic technicians (it can be compared to multimeters used by electrical technicians). OFMs quickly measure multiple key optical parameters such as loss (dB), optical return loss (dB), length (meters) and power (dBm). They help technicians verify fibre optic link health and troubleshoot potential issues.
