instant experts in diagnostics and troubleshooting,” said Stéphane Chabot, EXFO’s vice president of test and measurement. “The Optical Wave Expert …fills an existing gap in the market by eliminatingtheneedformultiple instruments and seamlessly isolating problems for quick resolution.” The integration of channel checker and OTDR capabilities on a single port means less manipulation of the optical fiber and improved field efficiency. Technicians can perform real-time channel power readings through an intuitive GUI environment and benefit from tunable OTDR capabilities.

The mount is made of impact-resistant and heat-stabilised PA66/6HIRHS and is suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications. A rounded contour ensures the bundle always lies centered on the mount, while the special head shape of the base is optimized for easy installation by hand or with a 24mm socket. The head height measures 9.3mm with a total height 19.3mm, and head width is 22.5mm x 17.5mm. Custom sizes and material variants can be produced. Expert fault-finding EXFO Inc has introduced its Optical Wave Expert, said tobe thefirst device to integrate dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channel power validation and optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) fault-locating capabilities on a single port. Optical Wave Expert is designed to automatically measure, diagnose and troubleshoot optical fiber links. “We’re delighted to bring an innovation to market that reduces time-to-cash [key performance indicators], streamlines operations and empowers cable operators’ field operations to get it done right, first time.

“Even no DWDM network experience become field technicians with
