Designed for enterprise fiber
Many OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers) used for fiber troubleshooting are
designed for carriers and contain cumbersome and complicated features that enterprise users
don’t need. Few OTDRs are built with features and usability for enterprise network engineers,
SAN designers and cable installers.

As enterprises consume more storage resources and adopt higher bandwidth (40G, 100G)
data center architectures, the resilience of the cabling infrastructure becomes highly
dependent upon maintenance tools to ensure fiber reliability. OptiFiber Pro is the industry’s
first purpose-built OTDR that meets the unique challenges of an enterprise fiber infrastruc-
ture. With its simple smartphone user interface and powerful feature set, the OptiFiber Pro
turns anyone into an efficient and expert premise fiber troubleshooter or installer.

As enterprise networks and data center
architectures evolve, IT infrastructure
administrators demand better OTDR
technology to maintain fiber network
performance. OTDRs designed for Telco
networks are no longer acceptable as they
are purpose-built for users with extensive
optical background and training. Network
engineers, Storage Area Network (SAN)
designers and cable installers require
an easy-to-use and efficient OTDR to
minimize network down time.
