Overview
The Jonard Tools OTDR-1500 is a professional, multi-function handheld testing platform designed for singlemode G.652 fiber applications. It consolidates four critical testing instruments into one compact 7-inch touchscreen device: a 1310/1550 nm OTDR, an optical power meter, a stabilized light source, and a visual fault locator (VFL). This consolidation eliminates the need for carrying multiple pieces of equipment, streamlining the testing process for FTTx drops, access spans, and distribution fiber networks.
Constructed for field use, the device features a rubberized, shock-resistant housing and an integrated kickstand. The unit provides a 32 dB/30 dB dynamic range, enabling technicians to effectively characterize fiber links and identify faults. Data management is handled through internal storage with expandable MicroSD options, while Wi-Fi and micro-USB connectivity facilitate easy reporting and file transfers to PCs or Android devices.
Key Features
-
Integrated 4-in-1 Design
Combines OTDR, power meter, light source, and VFL in a single tool, reducing the amount of equipment technicians must carry. -
Event Map Visualization
Converts raw trace data into an easy-to-read graphical icon map, allowing rapid fault identification without advanced waveform analysis. -
High Dynamic Range
Features a 32 dB/30 dB dynamic range, suitable for testing long-haul access spans and FTTx networks with splitters. -
Dual Wavelength Testing
Simultaneous 1310 nm and 1550 nm testing helps distinguish macrobends from other fiber losses. -
Comprehensive Connectivity
Includes built-in Wi-Fi and micro-USB support for efficient file transfer and remote monitoring via Android devices. -
Field-Ready Durability
Equipped with a rubberized, drop-resistant exterior and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery for full-shift operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fiber types does this OTDR support?
The OTDR-1500 is specifically calibrated for G.652 singlemode fiber.
Can I use this for UPC-terminated links?
The ports are FC/APC and SC/APC. Testing UPC connectors will require a hybrid patch cord or launch cable.
Does it include analysis software?
Yes, Jonard Tools provides free trace analysis software and an Android application for reporting.
What is the maximum test range?
The unit has a test range of 500 m to 60 km.
How are the results saved?
Results are saved in the industry-standard Telcordia SOR format.
