High Spatial Resolution with No
Deadzone or Blindspots
A full range of measurements up to 30 meters with
10 micron resolution in just 7 seconds.
Characterize Network Components and
Faults
Extraordinary spatial resolution can discriminate
between component failure, bad connections, or
crimped cables.
Lightpath Software Offers Pass/Fail

Key Specications
On the Flight Line or Production Line
When asset downtime is not an option
Industrial Assets Rely Increasingly on
Fiber Optics
Increased complexity of control systems in
industrial equipment is creating a need for more
sophisticated diagnostic equipment.
Form Factor Constrains Accessibility
& Maintainability
Aircraft form factor is driven by mission
requirements. Tear down of assets for
maintainability is expensive and impractical.
Avoiding Downtime is Critical
When you need to know the exact fault location
quickly, then only an OBR 4600 will do.

Lightpath Analysis Software
Automated Pass/Fail Detection Based on
User-Dened Parameters
Reective events (components, splices,
and bends) along a ber optic network can
be characterized and dened by a set of
parameters. These parameters become the
basis of the pass/fail assessment and are
entered into the Lightpath software.
The OBR 4600’s high spatial resolution and
sensitivity allow it to precisely determine the
location of events with a resolution of microns.
The Lightpath software compares the actual
measurement parameters and compares the
results to the user-dened parameter set. A
determination of pass/fail is made and the
results displayed on the user interface.
The OBR 4600 is an extraordinary instrument, capable of locating and identifying cable splices, gratings,
connectors, switches, and crimped cables all within sub-millimeter resolution. Even the tie wrap of a cable
harness applying excessive pressure can be detected.
