This unit
The Yokogawa AQ1200E is a handheld OTDR designed for field testing and maintenance of single-mode optical fiber networks. Operating at 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1625 nm, it delivers dynamic range up to 32 dB and sub-meter event resolution for precise fault detection in live networks. The built-in cutoff filter at 1625 nm enables non-disruptive measurements on in-service PON systems without interrupting active traffic.

Yokogawa AQ1200E — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Yokogawa AQ1200E. Calibration covers distance accuracy verified against a calibrated fiber length reference, event loss measurement accuracy at splice and connector events, dead zone (event and attenuation) at rated pulse width, dynamic range verification at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, backscatter coefficient calibration, and return loss measurement accuracy. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Yokogawa AQ1200E faults: optical port connector damage or contamination, battery failure, display damage from field use, module failure on FTB or MTS platforms, calibration drift. Most field OTDRs fail due to physical damage. On modular platforms (EXFO FTB, Viavi MTS), individual module failures are serviced without replacing the entire mainframe. Optical port cleaning resolves many apparent measurement faults before mechanical repair is needed.
