Luna Innovations Incorporated
(NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today
announced that it is releasing the industry’s highest resolution portable
reflectometer. The OBR 6200 Series performs advanced inspection and diagnostics
of fiber optic assemblies and networks.
Luna’s proven Optical
Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) technology provides advanced design, diagnostic
and inspection capabilities to fiber-optic manufacturers, developers and
installers by illustrating a map, in ultra-high resolution, of an optical link.
OBR 6200 Series instruments are rugged, hand-held reflectometers with
ultra-high sensitivity for testing and troubleshooting short fiber optic
networks up to 100 meters in length. This breakthrough new product will bring
significantly enhanced diagnostic capabilities to the installation and
maintenance of commercial and military avionics, data center networks and
industrial manufacturing applications.
The OBR 6200 series was
initially developed for field support and maintenance of fiber optic links
onboard advanced aircraft, such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Because of
this, OBR 6200 was designed with ruggedness and ease of use in mind. Integrating
a touch screen interface with “go/no-go” data and qualification to strict
military operational and environmental standards, the OBR 6200 greatly
simplifies analysis and maintenance of fiber optic links and is deployable in a
multitude of environments. The OBR 6200 provides diagnostic capabilities in
applications where the industry standard Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
“OTDR” doesn’t provide enough resolution or precision. With 100 times more
spatial resolution and precision than other “high-resolution” OTDRs, the OBR
6200 enables pinpoint diagnostics not otherwise achievable.
“Luna’s OBR 6200 Series is
the industry’s most capable high-resolution tool for maintenance and
troubleshooting of fiber optic networks,” said Scott Graeff, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Luna. “Our work with the Lockheed Martin team in
support of the fiber network on the F-35 has ensured that this product combines
the ultimate in accuracy and usability, and we are excited about the many
applications of this instrument, including total fiber system quality control
to ensure component performance and network uptime.”
The OBR 6200 Series
instruments are ideal to use in the field for service and maintenance
applications because the units are ruggedized with IP65 (water-resistant and
dustproof) and MIL-STD certifications, and their fast acquisition rate reduces
susceptibility to vibration. The portable units are touchscreen, have an easily
chargeable Li-Ion battery and work with single- and multimode fiber
installations.
