The Yokogawa AQ1215F is a portable optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of single-mode fiber networks. Operating at 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1650 nm, it delivers multi-wavelength capability across access and enterprise deployments. The instrument combines OTDR trace analysis with optical power measurement (OPM) functionality, event detection, and automated pass/fail judgment to characterize fiber core performance and locate faults rapidly. A built-in reporting engine generates PDF documentation with configurable templates, while USB Type-C and LAN/WLAN connectivity enable field operation and remote control.
