The Agilent E6000C Mini-OTDR is a portable optical time-domain reflectometer engineered for field fiber link troubleshooting, event detection, and fault location. Operating on Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection principles, this instrument delivers dynamic range up to 40 dB across measurement distances from 0 to 400 km. It supports automatic event adjustment, automatic fiber characterization, and integrated fiber break locator functionality for rapid diagnosis of splice losses, connector losses, and discontinuities.
