Overview
The AFL FlexScan TS100-60 1650nm Filtered Live PON Troubleshooter is a specialized test instrument designed for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network maintenance. Its primary function is to automatically detect, identify, and locate single-mode optical network issues beyond the splitter, providing clear recommendations for corrective actions. This enables technicians to isolate faults in live PON environments efficiently.
Constructed for field use, the device features an integrated VFL, optical power meter, and light source, along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for data transfer. It supports multiple test modes including FleXpress Fault Locate, OLS/OPM, and inspection. With a 4.3" LCD touchscreen and robust internal memory, it is designed for demanding outdoor operating environments.
