TekRanger 2 TFS3031

If your job is to install, maintain or restore optical fiber, the TekRanger 2 TFS3031 mini-OTDR with IntelliTrace™ Automated Fiber Analysis System is a rugged, easy-to-use, mini-optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) that’s built for you. It’s designed to stand the rigors of field work, while providing precise measurements on singlemode optical fiber systems in an economical form factor.

The IntelliTrace System Advantage

IntelliTrace technology automatically adjusts and optimizes test parameters so you don’t have to. Just press the Start/Stop button and it will provide the best possible resolution, while maximizing dynamic range to give you the most accurate measurements available in a mini-OTDR today. One IntelliTraceFilter acquisition provides consistent, repeatable and accurate results. The location, reflectance and loss of every splice appears quickly and clearly on the large, high-contrast display.

The TFS3031 is the only mini-OTDR that can locate an event at 10 meters while also finding an end at 70 km away with the push of a single button. No need for multiple acquisitions to get a complete picture of your fiber, either with a displayed trace or an event table. You get greater productivity in labor with less training.

Traceable Measurements

The TekRanger 2 TFS3031 offers traceability on distance and loss measurements. This means that both the hardware and the software are included in our accuracy specifications. What this means to you is that you can count on the TFS3031 mini-OTDR to provide the most reliable and repeatable measurements of any OTDR in the world.

Convenient Data Storage

Test results can be stored in the TFS3031’s ample internal memory or collected on the optional floppy disk drive. Microsoft Windows based TARGET1 software package gives you virtually unlimited flexibility when analyzing and documenting your spliced fibers.

Easy System Software Updates

The TFS3031’s optional disk drive and RS-232 port permit updating of the unit’s firmware in the field so you can easily keep up with the latest technology.

Selling Tektronix YOPM200 – We Buy New Used YOPM200 (‘s) Top Dollar Paid!

If you’re looking to Sell Tektronix YOPM200 SM MM Fiber Optic Power Meter

FEATURES:

  • NIST-traceable Accuracy
  • Tabular Test Result Conform to your System Patching Layout, Simplifying Analysis
  • Compatible with Y350 NetTek™ Analyzer
  • PCMCIA-based Connectivity to NetTek Analyzer Leaves Main Module Slots Free for Other Instruments (e.g. OTDRs)

If you are installing or maintaining fiber cable to handle the burgeoning network capacity requirements of today, you need tools that can help you get the work done more quickly. The two YOPM Series Optical Power Meters are part of a broad line of Tektronix measurement solutions for fiber installation and maintenance (I & M) needs. The YOPM Series delivers performance and versatility that will save precious time while assuring the quality levels your network customers demand.

The Tektronix YOPM Series optical power meters are uncompromised instruments designed to connect to the PCMICIA socket on a Tektronix Y350 NetTek Analyzer. In the NetTek Analyzer environment, the YOPM meters work in conjunction with powerful Y-Series OTDR modules to create a portable yet comprehensive toolset for fiber I & M measurements. Because the YOPM meters plug into the NetTek Analyzer PCMCIA slot, the analyzer’s main module bay is free to accept up to four OTDR modules. Now you can carry just one tool into the field to address many wavelengths and spans.

The YOPM Series optical power meters bring NIST-traceable accuracy to your fiber measurements at every common telecommunication wavelength. With one meter, you can measure 980 nm EDFA lasers, or 1625 nm DWDM service channels with equal ease and precision.Two YOPM models embrace a vast range of power levels. The Standard Range  The Extended Range YOPM200 reaches from +27 dBm to -40 dBM. Because they are compact, interchangeable PCMCIA-based modules, it is a simple matter to configure a toolset for your specific application needs.

Buying, Selling, Trading Tektronix YOPM200

The YOPM Series optical power meters are packed with features that expedite record-keeping and reporting. Unlike conventional power meters which permit only one measurement to be stored and viewed at a time, the YOPM Series lets you store and view tests in a configurable table. You can design this table to match your system patch panel configuration. This is a feature that saves time and reduces errors when recovering and analyzing test results. Storing results is a fast, one-button operation from the control screen.
