Yokogawa Fiber Surface Test Function
The AQ7280-FST is an optional Fiber Surface Test (FST) function for the Yokogawa AQ7280 OTDR mainframe. This function enables the AQ7280 to perform surface inspection of optical fiber end faces, helping to detect contamination, scratches, or defects that may affect optical performance. The FST option is designed to enhance the maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities of the AQ7280 series by providing visual inspection tools in addition to standard OTDR measurements. It is intended for use by field technicians and network engineers to ensure fiber connector quality and reduce insertion loss due to poor end-face conditions.
