Chapter I Overview

Instrument overview

The Y30 Series OTDR is a testing instrument featuring high performance and multiple functions,
that is designed for the FTTx network. It is used to measure such physical characteristics of
optical fibers as the optic cable length, transmission loss and joint loss, accurate location of event
points and failure points of an optical fiber link.
It is widely used in such fields as engineering construction, maintenance test and emergency
repair of the optical fiber communication system as well as R&D and production test of the
optical fiber and cable.
The Y30 Series OTDR has the following features:
Super-short event dead zone of 0.5m, easy for testing the optical fiber patch cord;
Minimum sampling resolution of 2.5cm for accurately positioning event points;
Wide dynamic range of 50dB and data sampling points of 256k for long-distance and
multiple-branch communication network test;
PON network online test;
Both single-mode and multi-mode testing;
Advanced anti reflection LCD capable of clear interface displaying in field environments;
Multi testing modes, touch screen and shortcuts;
Automatic communication fiber monitoring;
Remote control;
Dual USB ports capable of connecting with the USB disk and printer;
Supports Bellcore GR196 and SR-4731 formats;
Multi-language operation interface;
Optional built-in visual fault locator (VFL), optical power meter and Fiber Inspection Probe
function;
The type of the OTDR optical output connector can be interchanged, keeping the end-face
the same as the cable under test.
