This unit
The EXFO MaxTester 730B Optical Time Domain Reflectometer is a powerful fiber optic testing instrument designed for comprehensive network characterization. With a 35 dB dynamic range and 0.8 m event dead zone, this OTDR delivers precise fault location and fiber quality assessment. The unit supports multiple wavelengths (1310/1550/1625/1650nm) and features EXFO's SmartLink Map software for intuitive trace analysis.
This compact OTDR is built for field technicians, featuring a rugged IP54-rated housing that withstands harsh environmental conditions. The bright, sunlight-readable touchscreen display provides clear visualization of test results, while the intuitive interface simplifies operation. Advanced features include automated testing, real-time trace viewing, and customizable test parameters.
The MaxTester 730B is particularly effective for FTTx network deployment and maintenance, offering specialized test modes for PON networks. Its long battery life supports extended field work, and the included USB and Bluetooth connectivity enable easy data transfer and reporting. The device also supports EXFO's ConnectGuard live fiber detection for enhanced safety during testing.
Exfo MaxTester 730B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo MaxTester 730B. 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 MaxTester 730B 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.
