1 Test & Inspection AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 Optical Loss Testing FlowScout ® SE100 Single-Ended Test Set FlowScout ® SE100 Single-Ended Test Set Quickly and Easily Verify Continuity and Insertion Loss From One End ©2024, AFL, all rights reserved. FSSE-100-2000 Revision AB 2024-03-13 Specifications are subject to change without notice . AFL’s FlowScout SE100 is designed to verify fiber continuity and measure insertion loss to the end of fibers terminated with AFL’s 1430 nm Wavelength Optical Reflectors. When a reflector is detected, the FlowScout SE100 immediately reports its presence (confirming continuity to the reflector) and measures insertion loss to the reflector at 1430 nm wavelength. The reflector is near-transparent to PON and other wavelengths, allowing it to remain installed during network operation. Reduce cost: Combining an optical light source and power meter into one low-cost test set, the FlowScout SE100 enables a single technician to verify continuity and measure insertion loss, reducing equipment costs by over 38% and labor costs by over 50%. Shorten test time and eliminate setup errors: Traditional two-ended testing requires equipment configuration and test coordination. FlowScout SE100 eliminates time-consuming setup and technician coordination time. It also speeds up testing by reducing visits to subscriber premises, demarcation points, and cell tower climbs. Enhance customer experience: The FlowScout SE100 eliminates the need for onsite troubleshooting of FTTH drop issues. All testing can be completed from a distribution panel or splitter, eliminating technician time at the subscriber premises and overcoming scheduling and access challenges for both subscribers and service providers. Increase technician safety: Repeated tower climbs for troubleshooting FTTA fibers are eliminated by using the FlowScout SE100 to test from the ground to optical reflectors installed at the Radio Unit. Ensure integrity of test results: FlowScout SE100 alerts the user when excess reflection or a live signal is present on the tested network. Reflection issues from damaged, open, mismatched, or dirty connectors often result in poor network performance. FlowScout SE100 immediately alerts the user and displays ORL when excess reflection is present. Complements subscriber-installed ONT initiatives: Reducing the need for FTTH premises visits, the FlowScout SE100 solution supports service provider goals to reduce costs by adopting a subscriber self-install ONT methodology.
