Goldtool Optical Time-domain Reflectomer

Description

Why Choose the Goldtool TCT-5700A OTDR for FTTX Networks?

Fibre-optic faults cost time, money and customer trust. The Goldtool TCT-5700A Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer is a pocket-sized powerhouse that lets technicians locate breaks, bends and splice loss across PON, FTTH and long-haul links up to 28 dB—without the steep learning curve of high-end units.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Ultra-fast auto-event analysis finds every connector, splice and macro-bend in under 10 seconds.
• 26–28 dB dynamic range tests up to 80 km of single-mode fibre with 1 m dead-zone accuracy.
• Large 5.6-inch sunlight-readable screen shows colour-coded traces, tables and pass/fail icons.
• On-board 4 GB memory stores >2 000 waveforms; copy to USB-C stick in seconds.
• Ruggedised housing, 8-hour Li-ion battery and IP54 rating survive real field abuse.

Built for FTTX & 5G Deployments

Whether you are certifying a new splitter-rich PON or troubleshooting a single customer drop, the TCT-5700A’s preset profiles (1310/1550 nm, 1625 nm) auto-optimise pulse width and averaging so you can shoot, save and move on. Real-time distance-between-cursors and loss-between-cursors functions give instant answers on splice quality and fibre constant, eliminating guesswork.

Zero Learning Curve Software

The intuitive icon menu supports 12 languages. One-button “Auto-OTDR” chooses the best test parameters, while advanced users can manually adjust pulse, range and resolution. Waveforms can be opened in the free Goldtool Viewer (Windows/macOS) for off-site reporting with PDF and CSV export.
