This unit
The EXFO AXS-360 Fiber Certification Tester is a handheld optical instrument for certifying fiber optic cabling in telecommunications and data communications networks. It delivers automated testing across both singlemode and multimode fibers up to 10 Gbit/s without requiring module changes, ensuring installations meet TIA-568-B and ISO/IEC-11801 standards.
Technical Specifications The AXS-360 supports four wavelengths across two ports: 850 nm and 1300 nm for multimode fiber, plus 1310 nm and 1550 nm for singlemode. Singlemode configurations can include a third wavelength at either 1490 nm or 1625 nm on a single port. The instrument features controlled multimode launching conditions for accurate loss measurement and displays results in a tabular format with automated pass/fail status relative to user-definable thresholds. Optional Visual Fault Locator (VFL) functionality is classified as CLASS 3R LASER PRODUCT per IEC 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10, with laser radiation possible at the output port. The transflective color display ensures visibility across varying lighting conditions. Data export occurs via USB connection.
Key Features
Automated optical loss measurements at multiple wavelengths with step-by-step fiber loss wizard
Fiber length verification against user-entered specifications
Optional Fiber Inspection Probe (FIP) integration for connector cleanliness assessment
Optional Visual Fault Locator for fiber break detection

Exfo AXS-360 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo AXS-360. 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 Exfo AXS-360 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.
