Platinum Tools to Showcase New Mini Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer Tester at CEDIA Expo in 2025
The Platinum Tools PT-OTDR-100 mini OTDR tester, a compact and user-friendly device for fiber-optic cable testing and analysis, is making its debut at CEDIA Expo 2025, held in Denver from September 4-6 at the Colorado Convention Center.
This innovative tool is packed with features designed to streamline the process of fiber-optic cable testing and analysis. With a 5.5-inch OLED touchscreen, the PT-OTDR-100 offers clear and easy viewing of testing results.
One of the key capabilities of the PT-OTDR-100 is its support for OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer) testing, with an impressive test range from 3 meters up to 105 kilometers. It also functions as a Laser Source, Optical Power Meter (OPM), and Visual Fault Locator (VFL), providing comprehensive coverage for various aspects of fiber testing.
The PT-OTDR-100 is equipped to save and export OTDR test results as SOR or PDF files, making data management and sharing effortless. It also includes an RJ45 remote for copper cable testing and comes with multiple adapters for different fiber-optic cable types.
In addition to OTDR testing, the PT-OTDR-100 performs continuity testing and Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) for Category cables. It is an essential tool for professionals involved in optical fiber construction, maintenance, and monitoring, as it provides insights into uniformity, defects, fractures, joint couplings, and other properties of optical fibers.
Visitors to CEDIA Expo 2025 can find the PT-OTDR-100 mini OTDR tester on display at booth #C1012. The PT-OTDR-100 is now shipping, making it a timely addition to any professional's toolkit.
By analysing the measuring curve of optical fibers, the PT-OTDR-100 enables technicians to detect and evaluate cable faults, splices, breaks, and attenuation losses. This functionality is vital in ensuring the quality and reliability of fiber-optic networks, facilitating installation verification, troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and ongoing performance monitoring.
In essence, the PT-OTDR-100 serves as a versatile and indispensable tool for professionals working in the installation, maintenance, and monitoring of fiber-optic communication systems.
