Overview
The SPC881 PON-CONSTRUCT Kit is a comprehensive test and validation solution designed specifically for new construction and deployment of FTTx/PON networks. This construction kit streamlines the verification process by combining high-precision optical time-domain reflectometry with automated fiber end-face inspection capabilities.
The kit features the EXFO AXS-130-SM1 Single Mode Mini OTDR, which provides essential testing at 1310/1550 nm wavelengths with a 42/40 dB dynamic range. Engineered for field environments, the system includes integrated VFL, an in-line power checker, and light source functionality. With Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity and an interchangeable connector system, the unit is suited for FTTx/MDU service activation, passive optical LAN testing, and live fiber troubleshooting.
To ensure link integrity, the package includes the FIP-200-A fiber inspection tool. This unit automates connector cleanliness assessment in seven seconds, offering auto-focus, auto-center, and auto-analysis to reduce human error during high-density deployments.
