From Deviser Instruments' 4th generation of OTDR, the AE3100 marks a giant leap forward in fiber-optic test performance and utility. CP, DP, and EP models support three wavelengths, with dynamic range up to 43dB; AE3100G tests four wavelengths, customizable to your needs. Input signals that contain both 1310nm & 1550nm wavelengths are automatically filtered.
Featuring intuitive touchscreen controls and real-time data analysis, the otdr machine AE3100 is the ideal test instrument for constructing, deploying, maintaining, and authenticating FTTx networks as well as verifying access networks. Multiple models and configuration options ensure your unique measurement needs are covered.
Construction, deployment, maintenance, and authentication of the following networks:
Also see AE3100 models A~F for dual-wavelength measurements with dynamic range up to 45dB, and models M, CM, DM, and EM for multi-mode testing.

FiberPath simplifies OTDR trace interpretation by IDing reflective events and mapping them in an easy-to-understand format. Experienced and inexperienced technicians alike will appreciate the simplified display. FiberPath's Auto Test automatically runs many tests at different wavelengths and pulse widths.
In conjunction with the SYNCOR PC-based asset and test data management system, users can issue test orders and collect measurement data remotely from AE3100 units deployed to the field.
The AE3100's high-performing OTDR supports up to 4 wavelengths and is the ideal solution for testing the fiber in RFoG and FTTx applications. The OTDR can identify and locate link impairments and measure the insertion loss by LSA, 2Pt and 4Pt methods. The unit also measures optical return loss (ORL).
The AE3100 includes a suite of optical measurement tools, including a power meter, laser source, and visual fault locator (shown below). The unit is available in numerous wavelength configurations for ensuring proper levels in networks such as RFoG and FTTx.
