Sidekick Plus fiber module for OTDR and fiber optic training

A Network Fiber Span in the Palm of Your Hand

  • Provides a simplex point-to-point (P2P) fiber
  • Custom length up to 5km with 2~3 user-specified, mid-span fiber events 
  • Events include good or poor splices, connectors, and fiber mismatches
  • Lightweight and durable aluminum handheld module

The Sidekick Plus module, originally designed for short-length network simulation and optical time delay applications, also serves as a useful OTDR training solution in the classroom when customized to include in-line/mid-span fiber events.

Offering a precision length of up to 5km, several user-specified in-line fiber events like good and bad splices, reflective connectors, and fiber mismatches can be built into the span to replicate exactly what a technician will experience in the field.  The lightweight aluminum spool enclosure is highly durable for use in virtually any training environment, while the handheld size makes it easy to carry, share in the classroom, or fit into a bag for transport. 

In addition to technician training, it also serves as an excellent tool for sales and marketing teams seeking to provide live demonstrations of OTDRs and other test devices at trade shows or customer sites.
