The iVAM OTDR is a cost effective system that reduces the time and labor costs associated with installation, maintenance, and fault location testing of fiber optic networks. The iVAM OTDR provides installation and maintenance personnel the ability to single handedly access and test fibers from any location. This can reduce dispatches by over 75% and minimizes the personnel and travel costs required to maintain and repair fiber networks. The OTDR module is non-intrusive, and can be used on dark and live traffic-carrying fibers.

The iVAM Optical Power Monitor module measures power levels of multiple optical circuits in the network. It transmits an alarm when the optical signal falls outside operator-set thresholds. Up to four independent thresholds may be set for each fiber. A single iVAM module monitors 4 fibers. A double-wide version that monitors 8 fibers is also available. Each Optical Power Monitor can be accessed remotely through the FSXpert System via Ethernet or EIA/RS-232. It also has the ability to automatically report alarms.

Optical Test Access Unit 1xN Optical switch. The OTAU Switch is installed in the FSXpert chassis and allows switching of the test signals through the the FSX test modules.

The Remote Fiber Test System (RFTS) chassis provides power and communications through a backplane to the Remote Fiber Test System (RFTS) modules. The chassis is available in several configurations. It can contain all ODSX modules, all 1 x N switches or a combination of ODSX modules and 1 x N switches.
