8000 Production and Laboratory OTDR

Highest quality OTDR measurements in the shortest possible time

The 8000 OTDR is the first of a new generation of OTDRs that has been designed specifically for optical fiber and cable test applications. Its revolutionary "performance first" optical design delivers unsurpassed optical performance, and its MS Windows operating system facilitates integration of the OTDR into manufacturing networks. These features, combined with unique data acquisition capabilities, significantly reduce the time associated with many aspects of the OTDR measurement process, making it possible for fiber and cable manufacturers to increase production output and reduce manufacturing costs.

The 8000 is available in either fiber manufacturing optimized, cable manufacturing optimized, single-mode (SM), multimode (MM) and also dual-mode (SM/MM) configurations. These configurations are compatible with OTDR productivity enhancing products such as the 1001 Multiple Fiber Handler, 1100 Single Fiber Aligner, 1120 Bare Fiber Aligner, 1200 Automated Fiber Handler and the OASYS.net OTDR Automation Software
