OREANDA-NEWS. June 19, 2012. Yokogawa Meters & Instruments Corporation announces that it will release the AQ1200E, AQ1205A, AQ1205E, and AQ1205F multi field testers in markets other than Japan on June 29. These are new additions to the AQ1200 OTDR*1 series of multi field testers, which are used to test the physical condition of fiber-optic telecommunications networks.

Featuring high performance and easy handling, our AQ1200 OTDR series multi field testers are compact, lightweight, and moderately-priced, with all the functions needed in the field. Among the new models announced today, the AQ1200E, AQ1205E, and AQ1205F each support three different wavelengths, so that even a single unit can cover installation and maintenance work for an entire access network (a network between the station and subscribers). The AQ1205A, AQ1205E, and AQ1205F also feature a wide dynamic range*2 and enhanced waveform quality, ensuring accurate measurements with fiber-optic communication networks that have a large-port-count optical splitting device with a high insertion loss.
