The Yokogawa AQ1210A is a dual-wavelength Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) engineered for field characterization and troubleshooting of optical fiber networks. Operating at 1310 nm and 1550 nm with dynamic ranges of 37 dB and 35 dB respectively, it delivers high sampling resolution (5 cm) and short event dead zone (0.75 m) for precise near-end fault detection. The instrument weighs 1 kg and fits the footprint of a tablet, making it portable without sacrificing measurement capability.
