Sunrise Telecom Inc.’s FTT-1000 optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) is one of the smallest and lightest units in its class, according to the maker. Providing excellent dynamic range that can measure >200 km of fiber length and small dead zones, it is designed for installation and troubleshooting/maintenance of access, metro, and long haul networks. With a battery life of more than eight continuous hours on a single charge, technicians can test fiber optic cables without interruption in virtually any environment, said the supplier.
