Article summary
EXFO identifies the MAX-720D as an access-network OTDR for point-to-point work, PON testing through 1×32 splitters and configured 1650 nm troubleshooting. Published maximum dynamic ranges are 36 dB singlemode and 29 dB multimode; the ordered configuration matters.
Industry relevance
Our assessment: start with the customer’s acceptance plan, link architecture and reporting requirements. A convenient event view should support a defensible test record rather than replace review of an unexpected result.

Confirm the ordered configuration

- The page describes iOLM-ready operation. Confirm software entitlement and any optional meter or inspection accessories in the actual quote.
Protect the quality of the record
- Use the required launch/receive fibers and customer test limits; confirm native trace and report delivery.
