The amazing 12-hour battery life will never let a technician down, and the plug-and-play hardware options, like the VFL, power meter and USB tools, make every technician’s job easier.

Most importantly, the MaxTester 700B series is finally bringing the iOLM, an intelligent OTDR-based application, to the handheld market. This advanced software turns even tablet like the most complex trace analysis into a simple, one-touch task.

Ultimately, the MaxTester 700B series is small enough to fit in your hand and big enough to fit all your needs!
