FlexScan® FS200 Single-mode OTDR
AFL’s FlexScan FS200 OTDR is an all-in-one solution for detecting, identifying, locating, and resolving single-mode optical network issues. It is designed for both novice and expert technicians working in a range of environments, from FTTH PON to point-to-point networks. It applies industry-standard or user-set pass/fail criteria and displays results using LinkMap color-coded icons that immediately show the health of the network. The FlexScan FS200 automates test setup, shortens test time, and simplifies results interpretation improving efficiency and reducing costs.
All-in-one test capability: The FlexScan FS200 includes an integrated VFL, power meter, and light source. It can be easily paired to AFL’s award-winning FOCIS family of inspection scopes, ensuring technicians have everything they need to locate and quickly resolve optical network issues.
Features:
• Single, dual or triple wavelength single-mode OTDR
• FleXpress® mode completes OTDR tests in <5 seconds
• Easy to understand LinkMap® results with pass/fail indications
• Integrated source, power meter, VFL (visual fault locator)
Applications:
• PON or point-to-point network verification or troubleshooting
• OTDR testing plus insertion loss and power measurements
• Locate faults exceeding industry or user pass/fail thresholds
• Visually pinpoint location of macro-bends or breaks
FlexScan Models and Kit Configurations
FlexScan is initially available in two models:
• FS200-50: 1550 nm only version for cost-effective network troubleshooting, including detection of high-losses due to macro-bends
• FS200-100: 1310/1550 version for more complete installation verification, as well as troubleshooting. By testing at both wavelengths, FlexScan can differentiate poor splices from macro-bends, as well as qualify the network for operation in both 1310 and 1550 nm windows.
Both models include an integrated VFL and are available with optional integrated source, power meter and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi wireless communications.
FlexScan test sets are available in five standard kit configurations:
• BASIC Kit: Includes selected FlexScan, wrist strap, soft carry case, Quick Reference Guide plus TRM™ 2.0 Basic Test Results Manager software. Soft case includes room for optional accessories such as connector cleaning supplies, fiber ring (launch cable) or FOCIS Flex connector inspection solution.
• PLUS Kit: Adds a One-click cleaner, 150 m fiber ring (launch cable) plus TRM 2.0 Advanced to a FlexScan Basic Kit.
• PRO Kit: Adds an auto-focusing FOCIS Flex Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System to a FlexScan Plus Kit
• BIPM Complete Kit: Adds OFI-BIPM Bend-insensitive Optical Fiber Identifier with Power Meter to FlexScan PRO Kit.
• MPO Kit: Includes selected FlexScan and accessories, MFS-12-SM Single-mode Multi-Fiber Switch, USB cable and 150 m fiber ring to connect FlexScan to Switch, plus Launch Cable to connect
Switch to MPO-terminated multi-fiber network.

FlexScan OTDR with SmartAuto, FleXpress and LinkMap
SmartAuto FleXpress Dramatically Cuts Test Time
In SmartAuto mode, a FlexScan OTDR automatically determines the characteristics of the network under test and rapidly completes multiple scans using a variety of network-optimized acquisition settings. It precisely locates and identifies network events, as well as measures loss and reflectance for each detected event. For even greater ease-of-use, FlexScan checks for live fiber and verifies the OTDR launch connection before initiating a test. Dual and triple-wavelength FlexScan OTDRs also provide automatic macro-bend detection.
FlexScan’s new FleXpress mode completes dual wavelength tests in seconds, reducing test time by a factor of 10x compared to conventional OTDRs. For multifiber testing, FleXpress mode automatically controls AFL’s MPO Switch, testing 12 fibers at the touch of a single button.
LinkMap Simplifies Network Troubleshooting
LinkMap with Pass/Fail enables even novice users to easily and accurately troubleshoot optical networks. LinkMap presents an icon-based view of the tested network clearly identifying fiber start, end, connectors, splices, PON splitters,and macro-bends.
A LinkMap Summary provides end-to-end link length, loss, loss per distance and ORL. Loss and reflectance of detected events is compared to industry-standard or user-settable pass/fail thresholds and displayed with clear pass/fail indications. Users can instantly toggle between LinkMap and Trace views.
Bluetooth and WiFi for Faster Connectivity
Pair FlexScan with AFL’s FOCIS Flex connector inspection probe for fast, easy connector end-face inspection.
FOCIS Flex provides auto-focus, auto-centering, integrated IEC pass/fail analysis, and automatic Bluetooth transfer of images and pass/fail results to FlexScan for display and archiving.
Complete Testing with a Single Tool
FlexScan integrates a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) plus an optional optical laser source (OLS) and optical power meter (OPM) supporting AFL’s unique Wave ID capability. With Wave ID, the power meter automatically synchronizes to a single or multiwavelength Wave ID optical signal sent by an AFL light source. The power meter automatically identifies received wavelengths and measures power and loss at each wavelength, saving significant test time and eliminating setup errors.
The VFL’s eye-safe red laser enables users to visually pinpoint the location of macrobends and fiber breaks often found in splice closures and fiber cabinets.
