Although very compact, the FIS Mini-OTDR is a full-featured OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer). It is available in a sleek hand held version, as well as a slightly larger ruggedized version encased in an impact-resistant, waterproof housing.

Both units are ideally suited for repair and maintenance applications as well as new installations including FTTH. Used with FIS Certification Software, the FIS Mini-OTDR enables the user to document and certify networks.

The FIS Mini-OTDR is very fast, producing a trace within one second of pressing the scan button. Among its many features is an easy-to-use Zoom that enables the user to observe the entire link, or zoom in on defects. Also, a CE approved version is available, as well as a 220V model.

In addition to testing and analyzing fiber optic systems, the FIS Mini-OTDR is a great tool for optimizing Quick-Connect Connectors and Mechanical Splices.
