This unit
The Yokogawa AQ7286A is a dual-wavelength Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) for single-mode fiber characterization across 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Operating from 0.2 km to 512 km with dynamic ranges of 42 dB (1310 nm) and 40 dB (1550 nm), it delivers loss measurement accuracy of ±0.025 dB and distance accuracy of ±(0.75 m + measurement distance × 2 × 10⁻⁵ + 2 cm). Measurement times range from 30 seconds to 3 minutes with pulse widths selectable from 3 ns to 20000 ns.
The instrument features an 8.4-inch color TFT LCD touchscreen, 15-hour Li-ion battery runtime, and stores over 1000 waveforms internally with external data export via USB and SD card.

Yokogawa AQ7286A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Yokogawa AQ7286A. 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 AQ7286A 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.
