MaxTester 720D - access OTDR

Fully featured, entry-level, dedicated OTDR with tablet-inspired design; optimized for multimode and singlemode access network testing.

Swap-Out connector

The MaxTester 700D OTDR Series comes with a Swap-Out connector which can easily be changed, as and when needed, without having to send the test unit to a service center. This ensures optimal performance over time without undue maintenance costs and downtime. The OTDR's optical connector health can be checked with an onboard diagnostic tool to replace the connector only when necessary.

Your calibration date remains valid, even after swapping the connector. No need to calibrate your unit sooner than planned.
