The EXFO NR-9200/NR-9200HR is a high-resolution optical fiber analyzer for precise characterization of single-mode and multimode fibers across R&D, manufacturing, and quality control environments. It combines Refracted Near-Field (RNF) and Transmitted Near-Field (TNF) measurement techniques to deliver detailed refractive index profiles (RIP), geometrical parameters, and mode-field diameter (MFD) data at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
