One customer complains the ceramic tube came out! check below photo, how can we gix it? Can we remove it for common use? The ceramic tube is from SC connector, not from the OTDR. please pull out the ceramic tube from OTDR slightly, and then install back to SC connector. If it is not easy to installed … Read more

First of all, we do not suggest users to upgrade their OTDR by themselves without negotiating with us, because we change hardware occasionally according to market supply. If any problems happen, please contact us in advace and describe the problems to our engineers. They will generate particular upgrade package for your OTDR if they think it is software (or … Read more
Yes, the FF-980REV OTDR support both Average Testing and Real Time Testing.
The FF-980REV OTDR does not come with Insertion Loss Testing Function. But the other model 980MAS comes with the function. If bulk order, we can add the function on FF-980REV.
Some customers complain that their FF-980REV OTDR can not be turned on any more. The problem was often caused by not right operating on the OTDR when they test RJ45 cables. Please do not test RJ45 cables if signals exist in RJ45 cable. To proof, please do as following steps, 1) Disassemble the device. 2) Press and … Read more
The VFL in OTDR FF-980REV is very week. How to solve it? The problem was caused by broken VFL laser. VFL laser has to be changed.
FF-980REV OTDR curve is ok, but there is nothing in event list area. What can I do? This issue should be caused by incorrect threshold value. Please reset all parameters to factory setting.
A Customer complains “There is a problem with FF-980rev. When turned on, it gives the error “initialization error” and does not perform its functions.” This is FPGA problem. it can not be solved by update firmware. The best method to solve it is to change PCB.
When you are out in the field testing fiber optic networks, precision is your top priority. You rely on your OTDR to deliver accurate trace data, and just as importantly, accurate time-stamps for your compliance reports. But behind the scenes of precision engineering, a minor industry-wide standard has long been a sneaky pain point for … Read more
