Advanced TDR Cable Fault Locator

August 31st, 2011 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm has released its communication cable fault tester which combines advanced multi-functional automatic communications with portability and ease of use. This communication cable fault tester is widely used for acceptance and maintenance of lines and inspection of cable characteristics and faults such as core wire breakage, misconnection, water absorption and poor insulation.

The intelligent communication cable fault tester, model A0080002, has a multi-language interface, three testing clamps and one connection for complete measurement. It integrates the functions of an OTDR, an ohmmeter, a megohmmeter and an automatic bridge into a single unit. It uses CAC and DAGC + DWAR technology for waveform visualization and features safe operation under high voltage. The smart switch-mode power supply and battery charger protect against such conditions as over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and reverse connection of power supply.

This cable fault locator communicates with a computer via an RS232 interface for data exchange and the estimated rate of data transmission is up to 11.2 kb/s. This tester can operate continuously for up to 20 hours with an internal LG 2 Ah rechargeable lithium battery. The backlit LCD screen is able to clearly display six resistance values between the A, B paired lines and the connection line.

Moreover, this high performance communication cable fault tester provides an IEC60529 IP02 protection rating allowing it to perform well even in harsh environments.

This advanced TDR cable fault locator belongs to GAO’s Telecom Line Tester family of products. This family of test instruments provides valuable choices for GAO’s customers. The family is very popular among field engineers and technicians as a result of their testing accuracy, functionality, portability and affordability.

D-Link Compatible 1000Base-LX SFP Bidirectional Transceiver

August 8th, 2011 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm is offering its D-Link compatible 1000Base-LX SFP bidirectional transceiver for WDM Gigabit Ethernet links, fiber channel links, SONET/SDH equipment interconnect and point-to-point FTTX application. It is a hot-pluggable I/O device that plugs into an Ethernet SFP port of a D-Link switch or router to link the port with the network.

These D-Link compatible small form factor hot pluggable fiber optic transceiver, model C016PB01, are used in pairs. These transceivers transmit and receive signals on one fiber strand using two wavelengths. These optical transceivers consist of two sections: the transmitter section uses 1550 nm DFB laser/1310 nm Fabry-Perot laser; the receiver section uses an integrated B type/A type detector preamplifier (IDP) mounted in an optical header and a limiting post-amplifier IC.

With standard simplex LC connectors for fiber cable connection, the transceivers boast a long transmission distance of up to 10 km over 9/125 micron single mode fiber (SMF) at a data rate of up to 1.25 Gbps.

The transceivers have a transmit power range of -3 to -9 dBm and a receive power range of -1 to -21 dBm. The transceivers feature low power dissipation and RoHS compliance. Additionally, they are compliant with SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Specification, SFF-8472 SFP MSA Specification and IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Standard.
