EXFO Optical Xplorer

The industry’s first optical fibre multimeter

EXFO’s Optical Xplorer is a simple-to-use fibre tester that verifies optical links in seconds and automatically explores further when potential issues are suspected.

It’s an industry first and will empower frontline technicians to do more, keep costs down and improve the quality of networks.

And OSA is the market leader of Optical Xplorer distribution in Australia.

“We are excited to share with our customers a new way of testing optical fibre,” says Rob Candrick, Technical Sales Manager, Silverwater.

Optical Xplorer features a wealth of innovative features, including:

• Displays fibre length, loss and optical return loss (ORL) in under 3 seconds
• On-the-spot detection and location of common causes of failures
• Built-in power checker and light source
• Patented EXFO Adviser 5-star rating scale: a qualitative approach to assess fibre links

And more…

Don’t waste time on good links

---

During the optical link verification process, the Fault Xplorer feature automatically explores only those links suspected as faulty… eliminating any doubts while saving testing time.

Within five seconds, Fault Xplorer will display IL, ORL and length on good links while tracking suspicious events.

This means our customers get the chance to solve problems on the spot, without escalation.

Boost your workforce output

Optical Xplorer’s intuitive design requires minimal training to use… perfect for frontline field customers no matter their experience level or testing background.

It minimises the costs and delays associated with deploying level-2 expert support and additional truck rolls.

It features an ultra-lean interface and no complex settings for ease of use and reduction in manual errors.

Boost customer satisfaction

“We’re really excited to show our customers Optical Xplorer because it makes the process of working with fibre that much easier,” says Rob.

“Optical Xplorer will also greatly benefit 5G networks thanks to its qualitative approach to assess fibre links.”

Optical Xplorer can confirm link quality and/or identify faults in a simple, one-step quick test.

Test insertion loss and ORL in a single-ended process… no need for tedious referencing.
