EXFO MaxTester MAX-945 Telco Optical Loss Singlemode
The EXFO MaxTester 945 MAX-945 Telco is a handheld optical loss test set OLTS that measures insertion loss optical return loss ORL and fiber length in one automated test. The SM in your listing marks the singlemode version, which is built for FTTx construction telecom and outside plant networks and any singlemode link where loss accuracy matters. It was launched by EXFO in 2016 as the first tablet inspired multifunction OLTS and it uses EXFO FasTesT process to run a fully automated bidirectional test at two wavelengths in under five seconds.
Key Features EXFO MaxTester MAX-945
- Fully automated FasTesT testing: insertion loss, ORL, and fiber length at two wavelengths in about 5 seconds, bidirectionally, from one end
- One-cord reference method: a patent pending reference process that lets you test short links such as FTTH drop fibers with very low loss and high precision
- On-board reference assistant: a step by step animated wizard guides referencing and removes the risk of reference errors or negative loss readings
- Intelligent diagnosis: real time information on test cord health with pass fail results against preset or custom limits and guidance for fixing failures
- Test Again function: re test a bad fiber in just a few steps
- Margin meters: show the result status and the margin against your thresholds
- 7-inch tablet-style touchscreen: a high resolution display with a Windows like interface instant start up and a stand support
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: built in with support for EXFO Connect cloud based asset management
- Automated fiber inspection: works with EXFO FIP-400B inspection probes with one step pass fail analysis at both fiber ends
- Long battery life: about 12 hours of autonomy and internal memory for about 150,000 test results
- Both units fully featured: the main and remote units each have a complete feature set so the remote technician can see results
- Onboard PDF reporting: with FastReporter software for post processing and reports
- Optional visual fault locator (VFL)
- Connector choices: options include ST, SC, E2000, and LC, with EXFO Universal Interface (EUI) adapters on many kits
- Calibration interval: three years recommended
