This innovative device, based on the successful MTS-2000 platform, combines all the measurement functions for access and metro networks and FTTH deployments into a compact and cost-effective solution.
Designed for installers and maintenance personnel, this SmartOTDR is easy to use thanks to its user-friendly interface and incorporates automatic fiber inspection software with "Pass/Fail" results and automated measurement and test parameter configuration functions.
For example, the SmartTest function allows users to save OTDR measurement configurations and adjust them for each specific network. This is extremely helpful for novice users, as the device is configured before field measurements. The professional simply selects the configuration and performs the measurement, obtaining accurate and repeatable results.
The SmartOTDR 100A/B also features connectivity options such as Bluetooth, Ethernet, and wireless communication, allowing users to save or upload tests to the cloud and download them from any location, control the device remotely, or view traces on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
This compact reflectometer features a 5” high-visibility outdoor touchscreen; a reflectometer module for single-mode fibers at 1310 and 1550 nm or 1310, 1550, and 1625 nm with an internal filter for in-service measurements; a light source; a power meter and optional LVF; internal memory for up to 10,000 traces; and a battery with 20 hours of autonomy.
Additional features include a 40/41 dB dynamic range optimized for FTTH networks with splitter systems up to X128, removable connectors, microscope options with a P5000i probe, 3G/4G connectivity via USB and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and a three-year warranty.
Following the conversion of JDSU to Viavi, the COFITEL Group distributes its instruments and hardware and software platforms to provide end-to-end visibility in physical, virtual, and hybrid networks.
Anritsu MT9100A: First multicore fiber tester with multichannel OTDR for optical networks
ANRITSU CORPORATION has developed a multichannel fiber tester, the MT9100A, which allows for the evaluation of transmission quality in multicore fibers compatible with next-generation high-capacity optical communications. Although this testing solution has been offered...
