INSTALLATION AND REPAIR OF VOICE, BROADBAND, AND ULTRA-BROADBAND DEPLOYMENTS
The MaxTester 635G (MAX-635G) is a complete DSL and copper test set that features the latest in ADSL2+, VDSL2, and Gfast (ITU-T G Series 9700 and 9701 recommendations for fast access to subscriber terminals) chipset based connectivity technologies.
Featuring traditional copper measurements (voltage, resistance, capacitance and time domain reflectometry) and highly automated scripted tests, the MAX- 635G offers everything a technician needs to complete jobs efficiently.
For service providers considering Gfast as a possible future offering, the MAX-635G provides operators today with support for enhanced VDSL2 35b, VDSL2 and ADSL2+ single pair and bonding, in addition to copper testing capabilities. Coupled with the MAX-635G’s small form factor, rugged design, easy-to-use menus and clear pass/fail test result conclusions technicians can close their jobs quickly and efficiently. The large touchscreen display makes it intuitive and user friendly. When it comes to saving results, it provides technicians with many connectivity options for uploading tests and compiling reports.
WORK SMARTER WITH THE MAX-635G
Equipped with SmartR™, the MAX-635G allows technicians to work smarter, not harder. SmartR is a suite of intelligent and automated tests that enable any technician to quickly and easily get an understanding of the condition of the line under test, as well as to
identify and locate a variety of common circuit faults. The Pair Detective feature automatically runs the most common line tests and provides graphical, color-coded results and pass/fail indications to detect conditions including shorts, grounds, opens, battery, splits and imbalances. Fault Mapper utilizes time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and resistive-fault location (RFL) technology to provide the additional capability of locating service-affecting line faults including bridged taps, shorts, grounds and opens. EXFO’s unique SmartR presents results in an easy-to-understand, graphical format with plain language feedback, making copper troubleshooting easier than ever before.
COMPREHENSIVE METALLIC TESTING
Verification of copper quality is a snap with the copper measurement capabilities of the MAX-635G. Thanks to its industry standard AC and DC voltage, resistance (shorts), capacitance (opens), power influence, balance and impulse noise measurements,  technicians obtain clear graphical results with simple pass/fail indications. The MAX-635G also features a POTS dialer, an optional TDR with dual-trace comparison capability, and optional 2/4 wire RFL & K-test measurements for pinpointing loop faults. Technicians have the choice of running single-ended tests, or running tests against an optional far-end device (FED).
MULTIPLAY PERFORMANCE MANDATE
Ultra-broadband Gfast and enhanced VDSL2 deployments such as VDSL2 35b are driven by subscriber requirements for flawless IPTV and over-the-top (OTT) video, high speed downloads and uploads, social networking push and pulls, and online gaming (e.g., MMORPG), to name a few. The MAX-635G allows technicians to connect subscriber equipment (e.g., PC, STB, gaming console) to its LAN port to transfer Gfast data at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. The MAX-635G offers service providers and contractors the same
TCP throughput test methods that subscribers use today; namely the Speedtest by Ookla, which is the industry’s standard solution. With Speedtest by Ookla, technicians will be able to validate the bandwidth available to the subscriber.The MAX-630G offers 2.4/5 GHz WiFi scanning capability to provide technicians the ability to validate signal strength (RSSI) in the customer premise. Improperly placed modems, residential gateways (RG), routers, and/ or set top boxes (STB) can impact WiFi performance and frustrate the customer if quality WiFi is not available.
NOISE MITIGATION FEATURES
Ensuring the highest quality multiplay services to customers is critical for service providers deploying ultra-fast broadband connectivity. With an aging copper plant and the need to maximize the use of all pairs in the cable bundle, it is imperative that the appropriate mechanisms are in place to mitigate the impact of noise. Noise is a significant service-affecting condition than can have a major affect on the multiplay quality of experience. The MAX-635G has a number of measurements to help mitigate noise.
Starting with determining the copper’s ability to mitigate noise using stressed balance, longitudinal balance and impulse noise detection, the DSL chipset offers INP (impulse noise protection), G.INP (impulse noise protection and physical-layer retransmission
as defined by ITU-T G.998.4) and vectoring (ITU-T G.993.5) plus a complete set of DELT measurements for attenuation, noise and SNR for tone analysis up to 106 MHz.

It is rugged and lightweight, and protected from the rain—just what is needed for the demanding outside plant environment. The user interface of the MAX-635G was designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind. The large touchscreen display features colored icons and graphics for easy configuration and operation, and is simple to use for both experienced and novice users. Users can “capture” important GUI screens,  hether menu’s or test results with the Screen Capture capability of the MAX-635G. Users can save the data to a USB memory device or upload to EXFO Connect’s File Manager.
AUTOMATED SERVICE TESTING
Testing ultra-broadband circuits with the MAX-635G is easy with customizable profiling. Setup the unit to do routine jobs or setup custom profiles for special projects. Test profiles can easily be transferred between units using USB or EXFO Connect to ensure that all technicians from the same organization are testing to the same specifications. In addition, the MAX-635G boasts customizable thresholds allowing all technicians to visualize pass or failed conditions so they can quickly move on to the next job or investigate further.
DATA MINING OF RESULTS
In today’s highly competitive network service provider environment, quality of service delivered to subscribers is paramount. With a solution such as EXFO Connect and EXFO Sync combined with the MAX-635G, service providers can manage their fleet of MaxTester units and ensure that they have the most up-to-date software installed and properly configured. These solutions on the MAX-635G also make it possible for service providers to have test results in hand for data mining and post-visualization purposes, thereby enabling them to proactively manage loop plants and ensure that they are of the highest quality.
