Platinum Tools PT-OTDR-100 Otdr Fiber Test Equipment

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS PT-OTDR-100 is an optical time domain reflectometer designed for testing and troubleshooting fiber optic cable installations. Operating at dual wavelengths of 1550nm and 1310nm, this instrument measures fiber length, detects breaks, locates faults, and evaluates splice and connector loss along a fiber run. It is used by fiber optic technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals to verify and certify fiber infrastructure in both installation and maintenance workflows. The dual-wavelength capability allows single-mode fiber characterization across the wavelengths most commonly required by telecom and data network standards.

The PT-OTDR-100 is suited for residential and commercial fiber optic cabling projects, including structured cabling installations, telecommunications infrastructure, and data center fiber runs. It supports testing of single-mode fiber at both 1310nm and 1550nm, covering the standard wavelengths required by most network acceptance and certification procedures. Fiber optic technicians and low-voltage contractors use this instrument to document fiber performance, identify reflective and non-reflective events, and produce test records for project closeout and compliance.

Key Features

• Dual-wavelength operation at 1310nm and 1550nm for comprehensive single-mode fiber testing
• Detects and locates fiber breaks, bends, splices, and connector faults along the cable run
• Measures fiber length and calculates event distance for accurate fault localization
• Compact field instrument form factor suited for installation and maintenance use
• Sold as a single unit (EA), no minimum order quantity beyond one

Compatibility

Designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cable systems operating at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, consistent with standard telecom and structured cabling fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The PT-OTDR-100 should be operated by a qualified fiber optic technician familiar with OTDR trace interpretation and fiber test procedures. Before connecting to an active fiber link, verify that all optical sources are powered down to prevent damage to the instrument and to avoid erroneous readings. Follow applicable low-voltage cabling codes and project specifications when documenting fiber test results for certification and closeout.
