YOKOGAWA OTDR AQ7280 – Modular Fiber Testing Solution

YOKOGAWA OTDR AQ7280 – Flexible, Modular Optical Fiber Tester

Responding to the growing needs for reliable and ease-of-use field test instruments for installation and maintenance of fiber optic networks, Yokogawa AQ7280 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is designed to empower field technicians to make fast and precise measurements with confidence. The AQ7280 satisfies a broad range of test and measurement needs in analyzing optical networks from access to core.

The AQ7280 is the most flexible OTDR in our lineup due to a modular platform to create a variety of systems from a basic unit to units with filtered ports to test live traffic networks in applications from long haul, to metro, core and FTTH.

40+ years of OTDR expertise has enabled us to offer a unique multi-tasking feature that allows four distinct fibers to be tested simultaneously. Its intuitive icon-based touchscreen lets users perform measurements with ease, and the 15-hour battery life ensures uninterrupted usage in the field where the data can be conveniently transferred wirelessly.
