Introduction
Yamasaki's range of OTDR products are the preferred choice of measurement instruments for optical fiber's
specifications. With an OTDR, you can make assessments of one single optical fiber or a whole optical fiber
chain. Specially designed so you can directly observe events on any fiber optic chain.
The Yamasaki OTDR range of products checks the transmission quality of optical fiber through
measurement of backward scattered light. Standard organizations like International Telecom Union (ITU)
define backward scattered lights as an effective analysis means of measurement of optical fiber loss.
Backward scattering is also the only effective way of connector inspection, which can be applied to
measure the length of an optical fiber, too. Therefore, the Yamasaki OTDR ranges of products are a useful
tool for optical fiber manufacturing, installation and maintenance.
The Yamasaki OTDR range works through reviewing "events" in an optical fiber (for example, irregularities
and connectors), which is quite helpful for quality control for those who are in charge of optical fiber
manufacturing, installation and maintenance. The Yamasaki OTDR range of products can help identify any
irregularities in optical fiber, locate them, and measure their attenuation, relevant loss and their
consistency.
The Yamasaki OTDR range of products are helpful for field operations. It can help to check the qualification
of optical fiber chain circuit on a regular basis. For the purpose of future maintenance, transmission quality
and condition of optical fiber needs to be recorded and stored, which includes measurement of optical
path, total loss, and loss of all tie-ins and connectors.
Besides that, the Yamasaki OTDR's range of products are easy to use, light and compact. In accordance to
ergonomics, they are designed for the user's convenience with a large LCD display and graphical interface.
They can save and transfer the measurement curves data to a PC using the provided software for further
analyzing, reporting and printing.
