The EXFO AXS-130-SM8 is a compact, field-ready OTDR built for technicians who need fast, reliable, and accurate fiber diagnostics in last-mile, PON, and FTTH deployments. Equipped with triple-wavelength capability (1310/1550/1650 nm), a modular swap-out connector, and integrated test tools—VFL, light source, and power checker—the AXS-130 is engineered to simplify field operations and reduce testing time.

Now enhanced with FTTH-iOLM, EXFO’s intelligent Optical Link Mapper, the AXS-130 delivers automated multipulse acquisition and a complete, graphical view of faults and network elements along the FTTH link. This means no guesswork, no OTDR trace interpretation, and significantly less rework—perfect for high-volume fiber rollouts and maintenance teams.

Whether you’re validating new fiber installations, troubleshooting service-impacting issues, or certifying FTTH networks, the AXS-130-SM8 provides the speed, accuracy, and clarity needed to get the job done right the first time.

Key Features:

  • Triple-wavelength OTDR at 1310/1550/filtered 1650 nm with dynamic range of 42/40/36 dB

  • FTTH-iOLM Included: Automated multipulse acquisition with intelligent event interpretation for FTTH networks
  • Optical Link Mapper (OLM) with icon-based trace view

  • Integrated VFL, inline light source, and power checker via single port

  • Swappable connector ensures stable calibration and uptime

  • Dual-wavelength macrobend detection

  • Onboard PDF report generation and internal data storage

  • Field-replaceable Li-ion battery with over 10 hours use

  • Rugged design with 4” sunlight-readable touchscreen

  • Backed by a 3-year warranty and calibration cycle

EXFO is making FTTH testing smarter and simpler with the introduction of FTTH-iOLM on the AXS-130 compact OTDR (SM7 and SM8 models)—and for a limited time, you can unlock this powerful feature free for life when activated before May 31, 2026. FTTH-iOLM uses automated multipulse acquisition to deliver a clear, accurate diagnostic of every element along the FTTH link, eliminating guesswork and reducing rework for technicians in the field. To receive the free lifetime license, simply update the software on your existing AXS-130 before May 31, or purchase a new AXS-130 unit before the deadline and the license will be included at no additional cost.
