Overview
The EXFO AXS-130-SM1 Compact OTDR is an all-in-one test solution engineered for FTTx/PON service activation and maintenance. It is specifically designed to perform testing through complex networks including splitters up to 1x128, making it an essential tool for GPON, EPON, XGS-PON, and 10GE EPON deployments. Additionally, it supports access network (P2P), metro links, and passive optical LAN (POL) environments.
The device features an integrated visual fault locator (VFL), an in-line power checker, and a light source. It utilizes the Optical Link Mapper (OLM) to interpret traces automatically, presenting complex data in an easy-to-read, icon-based format. Housed in a rugged chassis with a 4-inch touchscreen and all-day battery autonomy, it is built for field use in varied operating environments.
