The MAX-730D from EXFO America is a cutting-edge PON and metro OTDR designed for efficient FTTx in-service testing at a wavelength of 1650 nm, offering the versatility of an optional in-line GPON/XGS-PON power meter. Featuring an impressive dynamic range of up to 39 dB, it can effectively perform tests over distances up to 132 km in point-to-point configurations, making it an ideal tool for extensive fiber networks. The device's short dead zones measuring just 0.5 m for event dead zone and 2.2 m for attenuation ensure accurate results in complex environments, while the PON dead zone of 30 m allows optimized testing through optical splitters, accommodating configurations of up to 1 128. Engineered for outdoor use, this OTDR boasts a rugged, lightweight, tablet-inspired design that enhances usability. The 7-inch outdoor-enhanced touchscreen ensures clear visibility and ease of operation, even in bright sunlight. With a remarkable 12-hour autonomy, it provides reliable performance for extended field work without the need for frequent recharging, allowing technicians to focus on their testing without interruption. Compatible with EXFO Exchange and ready for iOLM, the MAX-730D streamlines the testing process, making it an essential instrument for professionals in the industry.
