Share your testing distance, network type, preferred OTDR unit, destination country, and quantity. We can help confirm the right AQ7280 platform configuration or recommend alternatives if you need a simpler handheld tester.
Interchangeable OTDR units support broader application coverage and more flexible platform configuration.
The AQ7280 platform can be adapted for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and network expansion through the selected OTDR unit and configuration.
Designed for users who need a platform-style OTDR rather than a fixed single-application handheld unit.
The large color touchscreen supports easier trace review, navigation, and broader test workflow handling in the field.
Suitable for users comparing multiple wavelengths, OTDR unit types, and expandable platform workflows.
Supports export and reporting workflows suitable for engineering, maintenance, and documentation needs.
The AQ7280 is used for modular OTDR testing across access, metro, backbone, maintenance, and enterprise optical network workflows.
Yes. The AQ7280 is a modular platform, and the exact OTDR capability depends on the selected unit, wavelength combination, and target application.
The AQ7280 is positioned as a modular OTDR platform for users who need broader measurement flexibility and module-based expansion rather than a fixed handheld tester.
The best AQ7280 configuration depends on your wavelength need, testing distance, module count, network type, and whether you need a simpler handheld alternative or a broader platform workflow.
