What is OFIX?
OFIX is a brand of GCI Inc.
OFIX is an optical measurement device brand developed by GCI Inc. that includes
an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer), OPM (Optical Power Meter), VFL
(Visual Fault Locator) and other various measurement functions. Currently, the
modularized, portable optical power meter is on the market that is able to be
separated. Our main products are OTDR and optical power meters that are meant
for short-distance (less than 25km) optical cable maintenance that are expanding
rapidly in the wire/wireless communications market. In the communications service
environment where the optical cable spreads rapidly to the antenna tower, the OFIX
is able to grasp the characteristics of the optical cable in one scan. This quickly tells
the abnormal point, which enables maintenance and therefore fast restoration work.
It is gathering attention as essential equipment for optical cable and system
establishment and application.
