The Luna OBR 4200 offers unprecedented,
field-portable diagnostics capabilities to
manufacturers and installers of fiber optic
modules and short-run networks.
KEY FEATURES AND PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
•
Verify quality of optical fiber cable assemblies, connectors
and short-run networks
•
Troubleshoot and distinguish between macro-bends,
splices, connectors and breaks
•
Locate insertion loss points – save hours of
troubleshooting time
•
Verify return loss of multiple points in a fiber assembly or
harness simultaneously
•
Verify and maintain aircraft and shipboard networks
•
Customize GUI for automated pass/fail verification of your
fiber assembly using software development kit
The Luna OBR 4200
is the industry’s only portable,
ultra-high resolution reflectometer with backscatter-level
sensitivity designed to test short networks. In a small,
rugged, easily transportable platform, the OBR 4200
provides the capability to “see” any event in a fiber
assembly or network out to 500 meters with no dead-
zone and millimeter resolution. With industry-leading
sensitivity and resolution in a portable platform, the
OBR 4200 is the ultimate tool for manufacturing and
on-site inspection and troubleshooting of your fiber optic
network.
MEASUREMENT PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
•
< 3 mm spatial resolution
•
500 m length range with no dead-zone
•
-120 dB sensitivity
•
0.1 dB insertion loss resolution

Panasonic Toughbook-19 specifications found at http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/toughbook-products.asp#/19
1 FWHM peak width for 14.5 dB reflection in SMF-28e fiber at 50 m. Peak widths increase with distance and modal dispersion.
2 Distance between two sample points along the length axis.
3 Scans over ~3 nm centered about this wavelength.
4 Range between strongest reflection greater than -30 dB and noise floor.
5 Measured with 2 m integration width.
6 Two way loss that can be tolerated before scatter reaches the noise floor and IL measurements are no longer possible.
7 For laptop battery life and charge time, see laptop data sheet.
