Description
COMPTYCO AUA-180A OTDR Fiber Optic Tester – 1310/1550nm Dual-Wavelength Fibre Network Analyzer
Short Description (Key Features)
8-in-1 Multifunctional Fiber Optic Tester: Combines OTDR, EventMap, Optical Power Meter (OPM), Visual Fault Locator (VFL), Optical Light Source (OLS), Optical Loss Testing, LED Flashlight, and File Management in one compact handheld instrument.
1310/1550nm Dual-Wavelength OTDR: Designed for G.652D and G.657A1 single-mode fibre, providing accurate fibre length, attenuation and fault-location measurements up to 80km.
High-Precision OTDR Analysis: Features a 22/20dB dynamic range, 2m event dead zone (EDZ) and 8m attenuation dead zone (ADZ) for reliable fault and event detection.
One-Key Automatic Measurement & EventMap: Automatically analyses fibre links and displays reflection events, attenuation loss, splitters and fibre-end information in an easy-to-understand graphical format.
10-Wavelength Optical Power Meter: Supports 850nm to 1650nm across 10 calibrated wavelengths, with a universal 2.5mm FC/SC/ST interface for flexible field testing.
Dual-Range OPM Measurement: Offers -70 to +10dBm or -50 to +26dBm measurement ranges, supporting both low-power and standard optical signal measurements.
Integrated 650nm Visual Fault Locator: Uses a visible red laser with a stated range of ≥10km to help locate fibre breaks, sharp bends, poor connections and other visible faults.
Stabilized Optical Light Source: Provides 1310nm and 1550nm optical output at -5dBm ±3dB for fibre link loss testing and component verification.
2000mAh Rechargeable Battery: Built-in 2000mAh / 3.7V lithium battery with convenient Type-C USB charging for portable field operation.
Compact Data Storage & Field Design: Stores ≥400 OTDR traces internally, supports SD card expansion and includes an integrated LED flashlight for low-light working conditions.
Long Product Description
The COMPTYCO AUA-180A OTDR Fiber Optic Tester is a compact, multifunctional fibre network analyser designed for FTTH installation, fibre optic network maintenance, commissioning and troubleshooting. Combining OTDR, optical power measurement, visual fault locating, optical light source and additional field-testing functions into one portable unit, it provides technicians with a convenient solution for everyday fibre network diagnostics.
The AUA-180A operates at 1310nm and 1550nm dual wavelengths and supports G.652D and G.657A1 single-mode fibre. With a dynamic range of 22/20dB and selectable measurement distances extending up to 80km, the tester can be used for locating fibre breaks, measuring link distance and analysing attenuation across a wide range of fibre installations.
Its one-key automatic measurement function simplifies OTDR testing by automatically analysing the fibre trace and identifying important events. The integrated EventMap presents fibre events in a graphical format, helping technicians identify reflection points, attenuation events, splitters and the end of the fibre without requiring extensive OTDR trace-analysis experience.
Integrated Test Modules
1. Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) & EventMap
The OTDR module provides dual-wavelength testing at 1310nm and 1550nm, with a dynamic range of 22/20dB. It supports measurement ranges from 100m to 80km, making it suitable for short FTTH links as well as longer fibre network sections.
The 2m event dead zone and 8m attenuation dead zone allow the tester to identify fibre events and faults with useful precision. Multiple pulse-width options provide flexibility for different fibre lengths and testing conditions.
2. Optical Power Meter (OPM)
The integrated Optical Power Meter supports 10 calibrated wavelengths:
850nm
1270nm
1300nm
1310nm
1490nm
1550nm
1577nm
1610nm
1625nm
1650nm
Two measurement ranges are available: -70 to +10dBm and -50 to +26dBm. The standard 2.5mm universal optical interface supports FC, SC and ST connections, while an optional adapter can be used for LC connections.
3. Stabilized Optical Light Source (OLS)
The built-in optical light source provides 1310nm and 1550nm output wavelengths matching the OTDR wavelengths. With an output level of -5dBm ±3dB, it can be used with an optical power meter to measure fibre link loss and verify optical components.
4. Visual Fault Locator (VFL)
The integrated 650nm red laser VFL provides a visible optical signal with a stated range of ≥10km. It helps technicians locate fibre breaks, severe bends, damaged sections, poor splices and faulty connectors by visually identifying where the red light escapes from the fibre.
5. Optical Loss Testing
By combining the integrated optical light source and optical power meter, the AUA-180A can be used to assess optical link loss and verify fibre connections during installation and maintenance.
6. LED Flashlight
A built-in LED lamp provides additional illumination when working inside network cabinets, equipment rooms, telecommunications installations or other areas with limited lighting.
7. File Management & Storage
The tester provides internal storage for ≥400 OTDR traces and supports external SD card expansion. This allows technicians to save test results for future reference, documentation and network maintenance records.
8. Portable Field Operation
The AUA-180A features a built-in 2000mAh / 3.7V lithium battery and Type-C USB charging. Its compact design and supplied anti-fall carrying bag make it suitable for technicians who need to perform fibre testing at multiple locations.
