M310 Enterprise OTDR

M310-20U-01-HC

The M310 OTDR is specifically designed to address the technical challenges associated with today’s enterprise network architectures. The M310 features AFL’s TruEvent Technology, allowing users to confidently determine where losses meet or exceed network specifications. TruEvent advanced event analysis software more accurately detects, locates and measures network events such as splices, connectors, breaks and macro-bends.

The M310 is easy to use with visual result display LinkMap, comes standard with integrated Source, Power Meter and VFL, and is inspection ready with the DFS1 connector inspection probe. No surprise ‘add-on’ charges for these commonly needed support functions.

Features and Benefits:

Industry Leading TruEvent Technology™ – Provides a new level of accuracy and reliability in event analysis. The M310 is the best performing OTDR for enterprise and data center applications.

Short dead zones – to validate and troubleshoot typical Data Center and Enterprise networks

• Event Dead Zones 0.8m
• Attenuation Dead-zones < 3 m

Superior Dynamic Range – Higher dynamic range means you can test short networks with narrower pulse widths (better resolution), as well as test longer networks — Great for contractors supporting both single-mode and multimode Enterprise networks

• 38 dB Single-mode
• 30 dB Multimode

Easy to read results with LinkMap – LinkMap with Pass/Fail simplifies network troubleshooting and enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks.

Built-in Optical Light Source (OLS), Optical Power Meter (OPM), Visual Fault Locator (VFL), and Inspection ready– all in one to help you face fiber network testing challenges.

Truly hand-held – Compact, rugged product packaging is designed for outside use and cramped inside plant environments.

International Language Support – User interface available in English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish

Data Storage and Reporting Capabilities (TRM 2.0) – Acceptance reports generated using TRM 2.0 can include OTDR traces with summary and event information, pass/fail indication, event maps, loss/power measurement tables and end-face images.

Macro/Microbend detection – The detection helps technicians identify installation problems. Excessive bends or stress on fibers will show up as increased attenuation at higher wavelengths. These bends or stresses are indicated on the Event Table with a special icon.

Bi-directional trace analysis – OTDR splice measurements on networks containing different fiber type may result in ‘gainer’ and excess loss splices where mismatched fibers are spliced. More accurate splice loss measurements are obtained by averaging OTDR traces obtained in each direction.  M310 Advanced Analysis option integrates bi-directional averaging within the OTDR.
