2. Key Features
2.1 Modular Design for Flexibility
The AQ7280's modular architecture allows users to customize the instrument for specific testing scenarios. It supports up to 14 OTDR modules and 5 optional OPM/VLS (Optical Power Meter/Visible Light Source) modules, enabling 90 potential configurations. This flexibility ensures compatibility with single-mode and multi-mode fibers across wavelengths such as 1310 nm, 1550 nm, 1625 nm, and 1650 nm. Key module options include:

High Dynamic Range Modules: For long-haul core networks (e.g., AQ7285A with 50 dB dynamic range).
PON-Optimized Modules: AQ7283F includes a built-in optical filter for in-service PON network testing.
Multi-Wavelength Modules: AQ7283J covers 1310/1383/1550/1625 nm, ideal for advanced network diagnostics .
2.2 Intuitive Multi-Touch Interface
The 8.4-inch high-brightness capacitive touchscreen supports smartphone-like gestures (tap, swipe, pinch) and integrates seamlessly with physical hard keys. This dual-operation mode ensures ease of use in harsh field conditions, where gloves or rapid adjustments are necessary .
2.3 Enhanced Measurement Performance
Shortest Event Dead Zone: Yokogawa's proprietary technology minimizes blind spots, enabling precise detection of closely spaced events (e.g., connectors or splices).
High Sampling Resolution: The "Eagle Eye" function reduces distance offset errors, critical for pinpointing breakpoints in long-distance fibers.
Multi-Pulse Width Analysis: Smart algorithms automatically select optimal pulse widths for comprehensive network characterization .
2.4 Wireless Connectivity and Remote Control
The R1.04 firmware update introduced UPnP support, enabling remote control via smartphones, tablets, or browsers. Multiple users can simultaneously connect to the OTDR, download test files, or generate reports without OS restrictions. Wireless data transfer and real-time reporting further streamline workflows .
2.5 Unmatched Battery Life
A high-capacity Li-ion battery provides up to 15 hours of operation under Telcordia standard conditions, even with continuous laser use. This endurance is critical for remote site deployments .

3.2 Multi-Fiber Measurement Database
Organizes OTDR traces, power levels, and connector images into a searchable database. Technicians can track fiber performance across hundreds of cores, with automated event logging and comparison against reference waveforms .
3.3 Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Macro-Bend Detection: Identifies bends by analyzing wavelength-dependent loss differences.
Intermittent Fault Monitoring: Schedules periodic measurements to detect transient issues caused by temperature shifts or mechanical stress (/MNT option) .
PON Network Optimization: Accurately characterizes splitters (up to 1×128) and detects connectors within 0.5 meters .
3.4 Firmware-Driven Enhancements
Recent updates optimized the 1650 nm wavelength measurement quality, improved report generation (e.g., dual-trace printing per page), and streamlined the user interface for faster navigation .
4. Applications
4.1 Access Networks
The AQ7280 excels in FTTx deployments, offering rapid testing of drop cables and distribution points. Its portability and quick startup (<10 seconds) make it ideal for field technicians .
