This unit
The EXFO MaxTester 940 Telco OLTS is a handheld, tablet-inspired Optical Loss Test Set engineered for field certification of fiber optic networks. It measures insertion loss, optical return loss, and fiber length across two wavelengths with automated bidirectional testing completing in under 5 seconds - certifying two fibers at two wavelengths in 2.6 seconds. The device integrates 100% automated fiber inspection with one-step pass/fail analysis, onboard professional PDF reporting, and patent-pending simplex reference technology for reduced test uncertainty on short fiber links.

Exfo MaxTester 940 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo MaxTester 940. 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 940 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.
