Multi-touch touchscreen

Intuitive and responsive! Tap, swipe, pinch or press. the high resolution, responsive 5.0-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and hard-key buttons make OTDR operations simple and intuitive.

One-button measurement

Full-Auto

Simply pressing one singe button, the AQ1000 initiates an OTDR measurement, detects and comprehensively characterizes network events with PASS/FAIL judgment based on user-defined thresholds. The measurement data can be saved automatically if desired.

Real-Time

Simple and fast way to observe how the network connection looks like and make a Pass/Fail judgment of the network connection. The markers enables distance and loss measurements.

OTDR view modes

Trace view

Traditional view with OTDR waveforms and event markers.

Map view

Simple, icon-based map view for easy interpretation of network events.

Long battery operation time

Over 10 hours!

No worrying about running out of battery power during your daily work. The AQ1000s high capacity Li-Ion battery will last for 10 hours under the Telcordia standard conditions.

Quick boot-up

Under 10 seconds!

From completely OFF to measurement ready in under 10 seconds!

Built-in PC and LS, and VLS

Power checker (PC)

Measures and displays optical power of incominglight for testing network performance.

Light source (LS)

Outputs a stable, continuouswave/modulated light for measuring end-to-end attenuationaccurately when paired with an optical power sensor.

Visible light source (VLS)

Outputs red light for checking continuity of launch fibers or short fiber trunks. Breaks and bending in fiber can be identified visually. (/VLS option is required.)
