The NOYES FLX380 FlexTester 3 is the world’s smallest, lightest, most complete single mode fiber optic test set. It combines high-
performance, multi-wavelength OTDR / PON OTDR, OLS, OPM, VFL and PON Power Meter in a rugged, hand-held package.
With 41 dB dynamic range, best-in-class event, attenuation, and PON dead zones, macrobend and splitter detection, launch quality
check, plus AFL’s unique ServiceSafe and Wave ID features, the FLX380 FlexTester
3 Series offers an unmatched combination of optical
test functions, ease-of-use, portability, and value. FlexTester 3 Series is offered in four models to best suit your application requirements:
• FLX380-304: Verify both in-service (live) and out-of-service FTTx networks from a single port. Includes 1310/1550/1650 nm live PON
OTDR with integrated PON Power Meter.
• FLX380-303: Similar to FLX380-304, but with 1625 nm filtered Live PON OTDR, instead of 1650 nm.
• FLX380-302: Complete out-of-service testing at all FTTx PON wavelengths (1310/1490/1550 nm).
• FLX380-300: Lowest cost, high-performance, all-in-one 1310/1550 nm OTDR for out-of-service installation testing or troubleshooting
on both FTTx PON and point-to-point fiber optic networks.
• All models include integrated VFL plus Wave ID source and power meter.
Over 1000 OTDR test results (Telcordia SR-4731 .SOR file format) may be saved in the FLX380’s internal 4GB memory. Stored OTDR
and OPM results may be transferred to PC via USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth
® . Windows ® compatible TRM ® 2.0 Basic Test
Results Manager software is included for OTDR and OPM results viewing, analysis, and professional report generation.
Features
• 3rd generation hand-held, all-in-one OTDR, OLS, OPM, VFL
• Patented in- or out-of-service testing from a single port

• Industry leading battery life: over 12 hours operation from a single charge
• It’s all about speed: with Instant On, you’re ready to test in <5 sec
Applications
• Certify new FTTx PON or point-to-point fiber installations, including splice, splitter and
connector loss and reflectance, end-to-end length, loss and optical return loss (ORL).
• Troubleshoot live FTTx PONs, including live PON detection and PON power
measurements plus live PON OTDR testing at 1625 or 1650 nm.
• Complete multi-wavelength end-to-end insertion loss tests faster and eliminate setup
errors using AFL’s Wave ID loss test feature.
• Generate stable optical source signals (CW, Wave ID or fiber-identifying tones) using the
integrated Optical Laser Source.
• Trace fibers or locate fiber bends or breaks using the VFL (visible red laser).
