Fiber Ranger the Simplified Optical Domain Reflectometer Sep 9, 2009

This is a new test equipment that works similar to optical domain reflectometer but more cost effective and portable.

fiber optic ranger is test equipment that functions similar to an fiber optic otdr. It is used in single mode fiber test applications. The fiber optic ranger is much smaller size and lighter weight compared to the fiber optic OTDR, and it is much more cost effective. They are small size and weight but with powerful functions.This optic test equipment is used in testing the distance of the fiber and identify the faults location in the fiber link or to locate reflective and non-reflective breaks in the fiber network.
