New T-Berd 2000 Designed to Meet Customer Demands

We’ve been hearing that our customers love the T-Berd 4000 OTDRs but often wish they had something portable with the same power and great software. We’re happy to announce that very soon we’ll be able to sell the all new T-Berd 2000 which provides users with just that. With a lithium polymer battery designed for extended use, sturdy construction and the standard OTDR modules our customers have grown to rely on, we can heartily recommend this tool for mobile testing.

The T-Berd 2000 is a handheld modular test set that is nearly half the size of the T-Berd 4000, but has all the same great features and compatibility. This light-weight and easily portable test platform provides users with the means to perform the widest range of test applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, OTDR modules (LAN/WAN/Metro/Access/PON), insertion loss and optical return loss testing, PON/FTTX power meter, and a microscope to inspect connector end faces and perform pass/fail analysis. With Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth and WiFi connection capabilities, this test set is designed for remote communication that is convenient at any job site.

Be one of the first to get this tool and instantly become a master testing technician. Rick, our testing product manager would be happy to discuss how this tool can help you with your business needs. For more information or to request a product demo, be sure to contact sales@fiberoptic.com!

Missing the expertise needed to interpret your OTDR traces? No problem!

Maintaining a fiber optic network can be a challenge. In an industry that relies so heavily on the speed and accuracy of fiber installations, it is crucial that you are positive these installations meet certain specifications. Being able to quickly and accurately interpret fiber characterization test results is essential, but highly specialized. Having access to experts to help with your trace analysis is the ideal way to optimize your fiber optic network but those assets aren’t always available “In House”.

Expert Trace Analysis from third party professional optical and/or electrical engineers is the most cost effective way to identify problems within in a fiber network that is continuously growing, changing or aging. Third party analysis can provide network planners with an easy to read report containing the relevant OTDR data and certify that the link indeed meets certain specifications. Allowing an expert to perform bi-directional analysis saves you time, money and headaches.

FiberOptic.com is introducing a new product that will provide customers with this beneficial service. TraceVault™ is your one-stop shop for storing, evaluating, and referencing all types of OTDR traces. With this service, you can request detailed analysis and an accredited certificate verifying that your traces meet specifications. Aside from our Expert Trace Analysis feature, TraceVault makes storing and organizing your OTDR results, and accessing your files directly from the field easier than ever. As an added bonus, this software will allow you to place an order for Fiber Characterization from our fiber experts with a few clicks of the mouse.
