The TREND Networks (formerly IDEAL Networks) R230000 OTDR II Tier-2 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer for Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber Cabling is a tablet-inspired OTDR that is handy, lightweight and rugged enough for any environment. With a 7-inch outdoor enhanced touchscreen, the most efficient hand held display in the industry, it delivers an unprecedented user experience. Its intuitive user interface including onboard manual ensures a fast learning curve. Plus, its new and improved OTDR platform offers icon-based functions, instant boot-up, automatic macrobend finders as well as improved auto and real-time modes.

The handheld OTDR... reinvented

The OTDR II (R230000) is finally bringing the iOLM, an intelligent OTDR-based application, to the handheld market. This advanced software turns even the most complex trace analysis into a simple, one-touch task. The iOLM feature removes the need for analysis of complicated OTDR traces. However, the traces are available on the reports and PC software if required. For traditional OTDR users an OTDR II trace option is available to view and analyse traces on the tester.

The amazing 12-hour battery life will never let a technician down, and the plug-and-play hardware options, like the power meter and the USB video probe, make every technician's job easier. Unlike traditional OTDRs, OTDR II (R230000) does not require specific launch cords which makes testing more cost effective and user friendly.

The entry-level solution designed for all your testing needs

The OTDR II/iOLM features a dynamic range of 36 dB in single-mode and 29 dB in multimode, as well as industry-leading dead zones. This ensures efficient testing of closely spaced events such as patch cords in data centres, or patch panels in central offices (COs). The OTDR II (R230000) is optimised for point-to-point testing of any access network, and is suitable for testing through 1x32 splitters.

iOLM - removing the complexity from OTDR testing

OTDR testing comes with many challenges...

Optical Link Mapper (iOLM)

In response to these challenges, TREND Networks is providing a better way to test fibre optics:

The intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM) turns complicated graphs into an easy to read diagram displaying all events along the link with pass/fail status for each event. The iOLM is an OTDR-based application designed to simplify OTDR testing by eliminating the need to configure parameters, and/or analyse and interpret multiple complex OTDR traces. Its advanced algorithms dynamically define the testing parameters, as well as the number of acquisitions that best fit the network under test. By correlating multiple pulse widths on multiple wavelengths, the iOLM locates and identifies faults with maximum resolution - all at the push of a single button.

Visual Fault Locator (VFL)

The plug-and-play VFL easily identifies breaks, bends, faulty connectors and splices, in addition to other causes of signal loss.

This basic, yet essential troubleshooting tool should be part of every field technician's toolbox and comes with the standard unit. The VFL visually locates and detects faults over distances of up to 5 km by creating a brightred glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode fibres.

Optical Power Meter and VFL option (not included)

A high-level power meter (GeX) that can measure up to 27 dBm, the highest in the industry. This is essential for hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) networks or high-power signals. If used with an auto-lambda/auto-switching compatible light source, the power meter automatically synchronises on the same wavelength, thus avoiding any risk of mismatched measurement. Installation is quick and easy, and can be performed by the user without the need for any software update. Simply exchange the VFL board with the new optical power meter and VFL board.

Get the best out of your data post-processing

The FastReporter2 basic software included as standard allows users to create typical results of single measurements. The optional full license FastReporter2 is the perfect complement to your OTDR II (R230000), and can be used to combine multiple test results of the OTDR II (R230000) and fibre probe into detailed PDF documentation. Designed for off-line analysis, FastReporter2 offers reliable data and report management in a user-friendly environment. A 30-day trial version of the full license FastReporter2 is included.

Alternatively you can use the onboard reporting tool to create comprehensive PDF documentation.
