MaxTester 700 Series: cost-optimized, yet comprehensive OTDRs
The MaxTester 700 series comprises small, lightweight, dedicated portable OTDRs offering a large screen for easy manipulations. These affordable units integrate EXFO’s renowned OTDR performance and value-added features in a basic solution that reflects today’s needs. The MaxTester series comes in two models: the MaxTester 710 (last mile and access point-to-point OTDR) and the MaxTester 730 (metro and FTTH PON/MDU OTDR).
The MaxTester 710 is perfect for point-to-point last mile testing of passive optical networks (PON) within FTTx architectures. It is ideal for testing short fibers, e.g., inside a CO environment or in a fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) network.
The MaxTester 730 is designed for end-to-end testing through up to 1x128 splitters in a PON environment. The 1625 nm out-of-band live testing port allows for efficient troubleshooting. Metro point-to-point testing also makes it possible to test over 80 km of fiber, depending on the network topology.
ConnectorMax software application
Providing lightning-fast results in the first step of fiber-link testing, ConnectorMax is the industry’s first platform-based, automated connector inspection application; it delivers quick pass/fail assessment of connector endfaces and is specifically designed to save both time and money in the field.

FTB-LTC/PSB/SPSB - Launch test cable/pulse suppressor box
Used in conjunction with an OTDR, the FTB-LTC/PSB/SPSB covers the OTDR's dead zone, enabling loss measurement on the first and last connections of a fiber under test.
iOLM - intelligent Optical Link Mapper
Automated, expert-level singlemode and multimode fiber testing that eliminates the need to manually configure parameters or analyze and interpret multiple complex OTDR traces
