VeEX: FX160 FiberBEAST™ Automated Bidirectional OLTS and OTDR

VeEX's FX160 FiberBEAST test kit integrates automated, bidirectional OLTS and OTDR into a single-port solution—eliminating the need for multiple instruments and streamlining every step of Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing. With one-button simplicity, paired FX160 units communicate over the fiber under test to perform insertion loss, optical return loss, and OTDR measurements, merging results into a unified bidirectional report. This all-in-one approach not only accelerates workflows but also slashes capital expenditure by an estimated 30–60%, thanks to its rugged, compact design and dual functionality. In PON deployments, a single technician can install an FX160 at the OLT and validate Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 performance requirements between the OLT and the customer side without revisiting the OLT until the job is complete, cutting certification time and staffing requirements in half. OSP technicians can use the PFP Power feature to verify that all fiber ports receiving power at the F1/F2 terminals are within specifications.
