EXFO MAX-945 Insertion Loss Kit 

The EXFO MAX-945 Insertion Loss Kit is a powerful, fully automated optical loss test set (OLTS) designed for telecom and FTTx technicians who demand speed, accuracy, and ease of use in the field. Powered by EXFO’s patented FasTesT™ technology, it performs bidirectional insertion loss (IL), optical return loss (ORL) and fibre length measurements at two or three wavelengths in under 5 seconds, with unmatched precision.

Ideal for access, metro, and outside plant networks, the MAX-945 also integrates automated dual-end fibre inspection with EXFO FIP scopes, a 7-inch touchscreen, and up to 200 km singlemode testing range, making it one of the most advanced and efficient OLTS solutions available.
