This EXFO MaxTester MAX-730C-SM8-EA is a used unit in very good cosmetic and physical condition. It has been fully tested and confirmed working across all three OTDR wavelengths (1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1650 nm Live), and the integrated PM-MAX-2X-VFL power meter and visual fault locator have been verified operational. OTDR traces showing Pass results were obtained at 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1650 nm during testing.

The unit was manufactured in June 2023. Calibration labels are not present; buyers requiring current calibration certificates should arrange recalibration upon receipt.

Active software options on this unit:
• OTDR — full OTDR application enabled
• iOLM — intelligent Optical Link Mapper enabled

The following iOLM packs are not active on this unit: iADV, iPRO, iLOOP, iCERT.

This unit also carries the RF/Wi-Fi option and the PM-MAX-2X-VFL plug-and-play module (power meter and VFL).

Supplied with:
• PM-MAX-2X-VFL module (installed)
• Power adapter / charger
• Stylus pen
• Soft carry bag

The EXFO MaxTester 730C (MAX-730C) is a dedicated PON and metro handheld OTDR designed for end-to-end FTTH characterisation, in-service live fibre troubleshooting, and high dynamic range metro point-to-point testing. It is optimised to test through optical splitters up to 1×128, making it the tool of choice for FTTH network construction and maintenance.

The MaxTester 730C is the first tablet-inspired OTDR line that is handy, lightweight, and rugged enough for any outside plant environment. Its 7-inch outdoor-enhanced colour touchscreen delivers an unmatched user experience in the handheld class, while an intuitive Windows-like GUI ensures a fast learning curve for technicians of all skill levels.

Key features and highlights:
- SM8 optical configuration: dual SC-APC ports covering 1310/1550 nm for standard OTDR testing and a dedicated 1650 nm filtered port for live in-service fibre testing without disrupting active traffic
- 39 dB dynamic range enabling P2P metro testing to approximately 105 km on real networks
- Industry-leading short dead zones for precise characterisation of PON networks even close to the splitter
- iOLM (intelligent Optical Link Mapper): one-touch automated multi-acquisition testing with clear go/no-go pass/fail results — no manual parameter configuration required
- Icon-based linear view and advanced event table analysis with automatic macrobend detection
- Plug-and-play PM-MAX-2X-VFL module: integrated broadband power meter and 650 nm visual fault locator
- Up to 12-hour battery life for full-day field operation
- Wi-Fi (RF option), Ethernet, and dual USB connectivity for remote control (VNC), file transfer (FTP/Data Mover), and EXFO Connect integration
- Rugged design rated for outside plant environments
