Luna’s Optical Backscatter Reflectometer™ (OBR) 4200 is the industry’s only portable, ultra-high resolution reflectometer with backscatter-level sensitivity designed to test short networks. In a small, rugged, easily transportable platform, the OBR 4200 provides the capability to “see” any event in a fiber assembly or network out to 500 meters with no dead-zone and millimeter resolution. With industry-leading sensitivity and resolution in a portable platform, the OBR 4200 is the ultimate tool for manufacturing and on-site inspection and troubleshooting of your fiber optic network.
Measurements:
- < 3 mm spatial resolution
- 500 m length range with no dead-zone
- -120 dB sensitivity
- 0.1 dB Insertion loss resolution

The T‑Gauge® Control Unit (TCU) is the central component of the T‑Gauge® family of products and serves as the source of the optical and electrical signals necessary to generate and detect terahertz. The TCU also transforms analog data into a digital signal that can be analyzed using the onboard processor and interacts with the wide variety of THz accessories.
-
The TCU is a 19 inch (483 mm) rack, wall, or table mountable instrument, consisting of an ultrafast laser, high-speed optical delay, ranging optical delay, power supplies, and signal conditioning electronics, with connectors for convenient interfacing to various optical and electronic components. The high-speed delay included in the TCU can be chosen from a number of delay length and speed options. When utilized in conjunction with T-Gauge® accessories, the TCU enables the user to generate and detect pulsed terahertz energy for a wide variety of measurements.
