Triple Wavelength OTDR with 42dB Dynamic Range | EXFO OX1 PRO MI Optical Explorer

Product Overview

The EXFO OX1-PRO-MI is a professional-grade optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) designed for comprehensive fiber optic network installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. This advanced instrument operates at three critical wavelengths (1310nm, 1550nm, and 1650nm) to provide complete fiber characterization and fault location capabilities for both single-mode and multimode fiber networks.
