NK6000 Smart Multi-Function PON OTDR Tester

Technicians working in the field will depend on the NK6000 Smart Multi-Function PON OTDR Tester for fast and precise troubleshooting of fiber optics for FTTx, FTTB, and FTTH deployments. The NK6000 is portable, with a weight of only 1.2kg, and has a compact footprint of 227×160×70mm. The display is a 5.6″ color touch screen that works flawlessly with gloves and has physical buttons as a backup for high-intensity sunlight or rain conditions. It can be powered by a universal AC adapter 100-240V input, 12-19V DC output or by a built-in 7.4V 5200mAh lithium battery. This high-capacity battery enables users to perform field testing for over 10 hours, thereby enhancing technicians productivity during long shifts.

The NK6000 can connect to standard fiber optic cable via the FC/UPC port using removable adapters for SC and ST connectors. In-service tests are protected against damage due to live fiber detection and APD protection. Auto analysis with a one-touch button produces detailed event maps and identifies faults in milliseconds. More than 40,000+ traces can be stored inside the NK6000 and exported to external memory using 4GB flash memory in the SOR standard format. Results can be transferred to other devices via USB, Mini USB, or 10/100M Ethernet for batch printing of reports.

Model Configurations

NK6000 has 14 different model configurations, which can be tailored to meet many types of applications. Single-mode models that are designed to connect access, metro, and long-haul networks:

• S1-S4 1310/1550nm: A dynamic range of 35 to 33 dB, to 45 to 43 dB
• T1/T2 1310/1490/1550nm: 32 to 30 to 30 dB optimized for PON/GPON splitters
• T3/T4 1310/1550/1625nm: 37 to 35 to 35 dB with maintenance wavelength
• T5/T6 1310/1550/1650nm: 32 to 30 to 30 dB filtered wavelength for testing live fiber
• F1 1310/1490/1550/1625nm: Full PON coverage at 37 to 35 to 35 to 33 dB

Multi-mode and Combo

Multi-mode and combo models work with enterprise LANs and other applications that use a combination of wired and wireless networks:

• M1 850/1300nm: 26 to 28 dB for premise cabling
• SM1/SM2 850/1300/1310/1550nm: Combo test results at 26 to 28 / 35 to 33 dB or 26 to 28 / 37 to 35 dB.

Core Features

• All models have a leading 0.8 m Event Dead Zone and a 6 m Attenuation Dead Zone therefore, they are able to accurately resolve closely spaced events in PON networks with many splitters.
• Models are tested at distances of up to 256 km using pulse widths between 3 ns and 20 μs.
• Accuracy of length ±(0.75m + Sample Interval + 0.005% × Distance).
• Accuracy of loss measurement ±0.05 dB/dB, calculated reflections quality ±3 dB.

Integrated Features

• Integrated 650 nm Visual Fault Locator 10 mW CW/1 Hz/2 Hz modes will find fiber breaks up to 5 km.
• The power meter ranges from 850 to 1650 nm; Power range: -50 dBm to +26 dBm and has a reading accuracy of ±0.2 dB.
• The stable FP-LD source for testing equipment operates with an output at 1310 nm and 1550 nm at -5 dBm, with a required accuracy of ±0.5 dB/15 min.

Applications

• Construction teams will confirm splice quality when building new connections.
• Maintenance teams will be able to quickly resolve any problems, and manufacturing teams will confirm cable performance.
• The rugged design is configured for operation in a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and a humidity range of 0 to 95% non-condensing.  The lasers fall within Class IIIb/Class 3B laser safety standards.
