Description

Used EXFO MaxTester 715B-M1-EA — Certified OTDR 30 dB, Grade B

Overview

The used EXFO 715B-M1-EA, part of the EXFO MaxTester series, is a single-mode OTDR designed for fiber optic network characterization, fault location, and loss measurement across distances up to 160 km. Built around a 7-inch outdoor-enhanced touchscreen and offering dual-wavelength operation at 1310/1550 nm with an integrated 1625 nm live fiber port, this instrument addresses the needs of field technicians, network engineers, and telecom infrastructure teams requiring a reliable, portable test solution. The MaxTester platform’s compact form factor, 12-hour battery autonomy, and PON-compatible dead zone performance make it well suited for demanding field deployments.

Condition — Grade B

This unit is graded B — Good: it presents light traces of normal field use on its exterior surfaces, consistent with standard operational handling, but shows no damage affecting structural integrity or measurement performance. All functions of the MaxTester 715B-M1-EA — including the OTDR module, touchscreen, connectivity ports, and battery system — have been verified as fully operational. The unit is suitable for immediate deployment in professional environments.

Common Use Cases — used EXFO 715B-M1-EA MaxTester

The used EXFO 715B-M1-EA MaxTester is well suited to a broad range of field and lab applications, including:

• FTTH/FTTP network commissioning and acceptance testing — verifying splice and connector loss across passive optical network deployments
• Fault localization on long-haul single-mode fiber spans — distance range up to 160 km covers metro and regional infrastructure
• Live fiber testing with built-in 1625 nm port — allows in-service characterization without traffic interruption
• PON network troubleshooting — 35 m PON dead zone supports testing close to optical splitters and ONTs
• Maintenance and periodic fiber plant audits — high sampling point count and storage capacity facilitate systematic infrastructure documentation

Compatible Accessories

The used EXFO 715B-M1-EA MaxTester is compatible with EXFO’s full range of interchangeable fiber optic connector adapters (SC, LC, FC, ST), and supports EXFO’s FastReporter and iOLM software platforms for trace analysis, reporting, and automated pass/fail assessment. Additional launch and receive cables in various lengths and fiber types can be used to eliminate near-end dead zones and extend measurement reach in both standard and PON configurations.
