Decision library

Compare the evidence before the products.

Manufacturer specifications are normalized around a real buying decision. Every page separates published statements, missing proof, and the lab work still required.

Live-PON decision

GUANGYAN G11 Optical Power Meter vs VIAVI OLP-87 PON Power Meter

See why a 1270/1577 nm calibration list is not the same as wavelength-selective through-mode testing, then choose by the actual network job.

Open G11 vs OLP-87 decision guide
Fusion-splicer sourcing decision

GUANGYAN K6 Fiber Fusion Splicer vs Fujikura 90S+

Separate the K6 potential supplier inquiry path, OPM/VFL and app-control opportunity from the documented Fujikura 90S+ core-alignment maintenance-team workflow.

Optical power meters

EXFO PX1/PX1-PRO vs VIAVI OLP-82/82P vs Fluke SimpliFiber Pro

Compare calibrated wavelengths, range, accuracy conditions, storage, runtime, inspection workflow, size and weight. Then review the G11 evidence checklist.

Visual fault locators

GUANGYAN B3A-30 vs Fluke VisiFault vs Jonard VFL-150 vs AFL VFI4

Choose by published reach, output, connectors, battery, safety class and field use, with the B3A-30 evidence checklist shown directly.

Fiber fusion splicers

Fujikura 90S+ vs Sumitomo TYPE-72C+ vs INNO VIEW8 Pro

Compare alignment, published cycle modes, battery, operating limits, records, and maintenance-team workflow. Then map the evidence needed for the GUANGYAN K5 and GUANGYAN K6 fiber fusion splicers.

Handheld OTDRs

EXFO MAX-720D vs VIAVI SmartOTDR 100A/B vs Yokogawa AQ1000

Read the decision summary first, then compare dynamic range, dead zones, battery, weight, reporting, and manufacturer-specific test conditions.

How to use the library

A specification table narrows the shortlist. It does not finish the purchase.

Cycle time, range, wavelength coverage, battery capacity, and storage are useful only when definitions and test conditions match. Where they do not, the page says so.

Bench and field evidence

  • Traceable sample and firmware identity.
  • Matched fixtures, fiber, operators, and environment.
  • Raw observations, failure modes, and repeatability.
  • Commercial relationship disclosed on the affected page.

PON power measurement

Understand why 1270, 1490, and 1577 nm settings matter, and when a general meter is not a substitute for a wavelength-selective live-PON meter.

Compare GUANGYAN G11 and VIAVI OLP-87

Visual fault location

Choose a dedicated VFL by the real tracing job, or qualify a GUANGYAN Y9 or K6 when an integrated tool can reduce what the technician carries.
