XHT-M06 · FIELD TEST INSTRUMENTS
PON OTDR Series
Filtered in-service PON OTDR for testing through splitters in live FTTH and 10G PON networks.
1 platform · 7 modules · up to 42 dB · in-service through 1:64 splitters
A PON OTDR uses a filtered, out-of-band pulse — 1625 nm for GPON/EPON, 1650 nm for XGS-PON/10G PON — to test through splitters on a live network without dropping subscribers, plus 1310/1550 nm for dark-fiber acceptance. Dynamic range — not the maximum selectable range — governs splitter penetration and reachable distance.

FAQ
Q1. Why does a PON OTDR use 1625 or 1650 nm? These are filtered out-of-band wavelengths. A built-in filter (>40 dB isolation) rejects the live traffic while the OTDR pulse passes through the splitter, so faults can be located on a live network without affecting other subscribers. Unfiltered 1310/1550 wavelengths must only be used on dark fiber.
Q2. Which live wavelength do I need — 1625 or 1650? 1625 nm serves GPON/EPON (1310/1490/1550). 1650 nm is required for XGS-PON/10G PON, because it sits clear of the 1577 nm downstream band. Confirm the PON generation before ordering.
Q3. Which module should I order? PD1 for acceptance-only and PS1/PS2 for dedicated live maintenance; the combined PT modules do both. For GPON/EPON, PS1 is the single 1625 port and PT1/PT2/PT3 combine 1310/1550 with 1625 at 38/36/36, 40/38/38 and 42/40/40 dB (PT3 is the highest-range flagship). For XGS-PON/10G PON, PS2 is the single 1650 port and PT4 combines 1310/1550 with 1650 at 38/36/36 dB.
Q4. What splitter ratio can it test through? Up to 1:64 in-service under standard splitter loss.
Q5. How does this differ from the handheld XHT-M05 OTDR? XHT-M05 is a 20–26 dB pocket/access tool for last-mile fault finding and cannot test through a live splitter. XHT-M06 is a filtered PON platform (up to 42 dB) that tests in-service through splitters; the two are complementary, not interchangeable.
Q6. MOQ, lead time and accessories? MOQ 1; reference lead time 7 days. FC/APC connectors, the inspection probe, Ethernet test leads and bulk orders are arranged on request. Each unit ships with the main unit (battery included), AC/DC adapter, USB drive, data cable, SC adaptor, certificate, cleaning wipes, strap and carry bag.
Ordering
• Part number: XHT-M06-PON6200-[PD1 / PS1 / PS2 / PT1 / PT2 / PT3 / PT4].
• Orders are confirmed against the PON generation, module, splitter ratio and connector type before packing; live wavelength capability is verified against the network conditions.
To recommend the correct PON OTDR: tell us the PON generation (GPON/EPON vs XGS-PON/10G PON), the maximum splitter ratio and link loss, whether offline acceptance at 1310/1550 is also required, and whether Ethernet testing is needed.
