Reflectometer completes tests in 30 seconds
Fast, reliable testing of virtually all premises and campus fibre networks - including CCTV and legacy installations - is easy with Megger's new XC8513 dual-wavelength cross-checking reflectometer.
Similar to popular XC850 single-wavelength model, which visitors will also see at the Megger stand, the new XC8513 brings the benefits of optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) to data networks, without the complexity and cost usually associated with such testing solutions.
Invaluable for installing, fault-finding, and documenting LAN fibre installations of all types, the new reflectometer has the ability to measure at 850 and 1300nm, which makes it ideal for installers who need to test systems at both wavelengths.
When used at 850nm, the XC8513 measures all connector and fibre losses, together with faults, such as macrobends.
Operation at 1300nm is useful when it is necessary to measure the fibre loss for links operating at this wavelength, which is predominantly used for fibre backbones and in CCTV installations.
With an existing range that spans 30 distinct product groups and over 1000 specific products, the addition of the XC8513 will further cement Megger's position as the leading supplier in its field. Request a free brochure from Megger ...
