A compact OTDR for FTTH and access networks. 1310/1550 nm, typical 32/30 dB dynamic range, event map, SOR/PDF output and at least 10 hours of operation under Telcordia conditions.
The AQ1000 combines a conventional trace, an easy-to-read event map and reporting in one compact OTDR for single-mode FTTH and access networks.
The Yokogawa AQ1000 is an OTDR for installing and troubleshooting single-mode FTTH, PON and last-mile networks. Simple operation does not hide the data: technicians can move from Full-Auto to the conventional trace, event table and report whenever deeper analysis is required.
When low weight, fast start-up and a repeatable 1310/1550 nm workflow are the priorities.
* /WLN availability is country-dependent. Manufacturer data verified on 15 July 2026.
Automation speeds up the test, while direct access to the trace and settings allows the result to be verified whenever a project needs more detailed analysis.
The AQ1000 starts the measurement and configures the primary test parameters.
It locates and characterises connectors, splices and other changes along the link.
Detected events are compared with thresholds defined by the user.
Save the underlying data for analysis or generate a readable field report.
Important: PASS/FAIL is based on the configured thresholds and does not by itself demonstrate compliance with every operator or standards requirement.
Map view converts detected events into an easy-to-read sequence of icons. Trace view retains the reflectogram, markers and measurement context required for a complete technical assessment.
The 5.0-inch capacitive screen supports familiar gestures, while physical keys remain available for gloved or cold-weather operation. A folding stand makes detailed review easier on a bench or in a cabinet.
The AQ1000 supports the complete core measurement workflow. Every optional function is explicitly identified below, keeping standard equipment separate from orderable configurations.
Distance, loss, event loss, reflectance, ORL, event analysis and real-time measurement.
A quick optical-power check over −50 to −5 dBm. It is a checking function, not a full optical power meter.
1310/1550 nm with CW, 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz modulation.
Red light supports fibre identification and visual fault location.
Wireless file transfer and remote control. Availability is country-dependent.
Configurable PDF report layout and standard SOR files for further analysis.
The same measurement can be read at different levels of detail, depending on operator experience and acceptance requirements.
Touch control for fast navigation, with physical keys for repeatable work in more demanding conditions.
Save the result as an SOR file, prepare a PDF and continue analysis with Interlab or Yokogawa tools.
Trace, events, thresholds and test conditions stored together.
Underlying data for analysis or a ready-to-share report.
Local transfer or wireless handling with the /WLN option.
Trace verification, documentation and measurement comparison.
Selection should follow the loss budget, splitter layout, wavelengths and measurement procedure — not one dynamic-range figure alone.
The compact choice for standard FTTH and access-network workflows.
For higher dynamic range, more wavelength configurations or more advanced field troubleshooting.
A platform for the most demanding tests, including advanced networks and multi-fibre workflows.
Typical and conditional values are labelled explicitly. The 256 km figure is a distance-range setting, not a guaranteed measurement reach.

* Yokogawa specifies the typical 32/30 dB dynamic range at a 10 µs pulse width, 3-minute measurement time, 8 m sampling resolution and SNR = 1. Typical values are reference values, not guaranteed specifications. Dead-zone performance also depends on pulse width, reflectance and test conditions.

The AQ1000 is an OTDR for single-mode access, FTTH/PON, last-mile and new or dark-fibre networks. It operates at 1310 and 1550 nm.
The typical dynamic range is 32 dB at 1310 nm and 30 dB at 1550 nm. Yokogawa specifies these values at a 10 µs pulse width, 3-minute measurement time, 8 m sampling resolution and SNR = 1.
Yes. Yokogawa positions the AQ1000 for access and FTTH/PON networks. Suitability for a particular link still depends on the loss budget and splitter arrangement; dynamic range alone does not guarantee measurement through every cascade.
Yes. Full-Auto detects and characterises link events and compares them with user-defined thresholds. The thresholds must be configured for the applicable project or operator requirements.
A Power Checker and stabilised 1310/1550 nm light source are standard. The 650 nm visible light source requires the /VLS option, and wireless connectivity requires /WLN.
Results can be stored as SOR files or PDF reports. Files are transferred through USB or, with the /WLN option, wirelessly.
The AQ1000 is measurement-ready in under 10 seconds. Its battery provides at least 10 hours of operation under Telcordia test conditions.
Compare the higher AQ-series models when the application requires greater dynamic range, additional wavelengths, live-fibre maintenance testing, multi-fibre workflows or more advanced analysis functions.
Tell us the network type, wavelengths, splitter arrangement and required report format. We will help verify whether the AQ1000 is the right model and prepare an equipment quotation.
