This unit
The Yokogawa AQ1205F is a tri-wavelength OTDR designed for installation, commissioning, and maintenance of optical fiber networks across 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1650 nm. This compact, lightweight field tester delivers high dynamic range and superior waveform quality, enabling precise measurements in Passive Optical Network (PON) systems with high-port-count splitters and significant insertion loss. The instrument's short event dead zone of 0.75 m resolves closely spaced connectors in FTTx and access networks, while dual-port architecture segregates communication wavelengths (1310/1550 nm) from dedicated maintenance wavelength (1650 nm) operation.
Technical Specifications
- Wavelengths: 1310 nm, 1550 nm, 1650 nm
- Port Configuration: Port 2 supports 1310/1550 nm; Port 3 supports 1650 nm
- Dynamic Range: 34/33 dB (typ.) and 42/40 dB (typ.) across wavelength combinations
- Event Dead Zone: 0.75 m (typical)
- PON Measurement: Optimized for systems with up to 64-port optical splitters
Key Features
- Maintains live fiber measurements using dedicated 1650 nm wavelength without disrupting active traffic
- Delivers quality waveforms even with high optical splitter insertion loss
- Resolves closely placed connectors in high-density fiber deployments
- Portable form factor enhances field deployment efficiency

Yokogawa AQ1205F — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Yokogawa AQ1205F. 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 AQ1205F 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.
