OBR4400

With industry-leading micrometer spatial resolution, increased range up to 2km, sensitivity of -130 dB, integrated distributed sensing capability and compact design, Luna’s new OBR 4400 is the new benchmark in high resolution OTDR.

Luna Technologies, a division of Luna Innovations Incorporated, announces the Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR™) 4400, an ultra-high resolution optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) offering unprecedented diagnostic capabilities in a compact design and a more powerful platform. The OBR 4400 offers unmatched diagnostic capabilities in locating and troubleshooting problem areas in modern fiber optic components and assemblies: splices, breaks, connectors, bends, hot-spots, etc. Additionally, the OBR 4400 has integrated distributed sensing capability that transforms standard telecom-grade fiber into a distributed strain and temperature sensor with applications in component manufacturing, installation and maintenance testing for aerospace, mobile platforms and secure networks

With industry-leading micrometer spatial resolution, increased range up to 2km, sensitivity of -130 dB, and integrated distributed sensing capability, the OBR 4400 is the new benchmark in high resolution OTDR. Using the OBR 4400, users can greatly reduce design cycles in research and development by finding trouble spots before they propagate. Users can also increase quality and throughput in manufacturing with easy-to-use software options like Smart LightPath Analysis Software, which allows users to perform automated pass/fail testing of insertion and return loss of fiber optic components and assemblies.

With integrated sensing capability, users are given a more complete picture of what is truly happening in their networks. Users can monitor the effects from component-level heating in optical amplifiers, to strain and load redistribution in aircraft harnesses. Other applications include temperature monitoring inside cabinets and enclosures, and smart fiber location allowing users to identify the location in fiber assemblies simply by touching the fiber.

"There really is no other tool on the market that gives such a complete and fundamental picture of what happens to light in an optical component, module or short network,” comments Brian Soller, Vice President and General Manager of Luna Technologies. “The key element of the OBR 4400 is that this picture allows our customers to not only produce higher quality products, but differentiate those products in the marketplace from a quality and reliability perspective."

The OBR 4400 comes configured with an integrated internal tunable laser source and a laptop. It is available immediately with an estimated six to eight week delivery time.
