FLX380-103: Most complete high-performance test set for verifying both in-service (live) and out-of-service FTTx PONs. Includes ServiceSafe™ live PON detection, integrated PON power meter and 1625 nm filtered live PON OTDR, all from a single port.
FLX380-102: 1310/1490/1550 nm OTDR, OLS, OPM and VFL for complete out-of-service testing at all FTTx PON wavelengths.
FLX380-100: Lowest cost, high-performance, all-in-one 1310/1550 nm OTDR, OLS, OPM and VFL for out-of-service installation testing or troubleshooting both FTTx PON and point-to-point fiber optic networks.
