Transmission
Since the beginning, we’ve partnered with international standards organizations to ensure our testing solutions not only adhere to the current standards but also to develop new standards. To this day, our instrument portfolio remains the only one in the world to cover full transmission measurements of all single-mode and multi-mode fiber types.

In-Process Test OTDR
8000i
The 8000i In-Process Test OTDR is the most recent addition to Photon Kinetics' family of innovative solutions for optical fiber cable testing. The 8000i's "cable test optimization" provides the balance of OTDR dynamic range and dead zone performance that's proven to be most effective for accurate characterization of typical fiber cable lengths. Dynamic range has been maximized to reduce measurement time, while resolution has been tuned to ensure that typical cabled fiber defects are detected. The 8000i delivers this optimized measurement capability at a more economical price than our full featured, final QC 8000 OTDR, which makes it a perfect fit for "in-process" testing on ribbonizing or loose tube production lines.

Production and Laboratory OTDR
8000
The 8000 OTDR is the first of a new generation of OTDRs that has been designed specifically for optical fiber and cable test applications. Its revolutionary "performance first" optical design delivers unsurpassed optical performance, and its MS Windows operating system facilitates integration of the OTDR into manufacturing networks. These features, combined with unique data acquisition capabilities, significantly reduce the time associated with many aspects of the OTDR measurement process, making it possible for fiber and cable manufacturers to increase production output and reduce manufacturing costs.

OTDR Automation Software
OASYS.net
Both the 1000i and 1000 OTDR Automation Systems consist of a suite of PK products that accelerate and simplify several time- consuming activities that are a common to the OTDR testing process in cable manufacturing. The cornerstone of both systems is the OASYS.net OTDR Automation Software. OASYS.net provides cable manufacturers with the ability to define comprehensive OTDR testing strategies, to execute these strategies to automatically acquire and analyze the OTDR data, and then organize and package the large quantity of test data in a form that is compatible with existing factory information systems.
