The Platinum Tools PT-OTDR-100 is a powerful, easy-to-use multifunction tester for both twisted pair and fiber optic cables. It provides a variety of cable length, quality and mapping tests, including optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), continuity, loss, event wiremap, IP and fault testing.

OTDR testing is particularly useful in fiber-based infrastructures because it measures overall cable length and length to fault through a short pulse of light. The PT-OTDR-100 allows these tests to be saved and exported, allowing a cable’s performance to be compared overtime. OTDR testing is supported for lengths from 3 meters up to 105 kilometers.

Additionally, the PT-OTDR-100 also features a built-in flashlight, 10mW visual fault locator (VFL), optical power meter (OPM) and optical light source (LS).

For added versatility, the PT-OTDR-100 also features RJ45 and twisted pair testing, including continuity verification and twisted pair TDR length measurement.

The PT-OTDR-100 is a vital and affordable tool for identifying twisted pair and fiber optic cable and connector issues, as well as analyzing network signals. It’s user-friendly touchscreen and rugged construction are perfect for field technicians and network engineers.
