This unit
The Yokogawa AQ1210A is a dual-wavelength Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) engineered for field characterization and troubleshooting of optical fiber networks. Operating at 1310 nm and 1550 nm with dynamic ranges of 37 dB and 35 dB respectively, it delivers high sampling resolution (5 cm) and short event dead zone (0.75 m) for precise near-end fault detection. The instrument weighs 1 kg and fits the footprint of a tablet, making it portable without sacrificing measurement capability.

Yokogawa AQ1210A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Yokogawa AQ1210A. 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 AQ1210A 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.
