In order to respond now and in the future to this increased demand, different actors, such as operators, public bodies and private entities, are implementing fiber optic infrastructure in consumers' homes and in businesses.
Fiber optic testing with an OTDR is essential to ensure that the network's physical infrastructure is adequate for the required services. However, this type of testing can present some difficulties for installers accustomed to working with copper and coaxial cables.
For these reasons, the COFITEL Group, a company specializing in communications solutions with a presence in Spain, Portugal and Algeria, presents Smart Link Mapper by VIAVI, an OTDR software application that eliminates the complexity of testing and helps technicians, regardless of their qualification level.
By providing an immediate and clear diagnosis when detecting a faulty link, testing time, travel, repeated measurements, and unnecessary cable occupation are reduced.
The Smart Link Mapper applications for OTDR are supplied in three versions (SLM, FTTA-SLM and FTTH-SLM) to suit the needs of each environment.
SLM,
meeting the requirements of enterprise, access, metro, long-haul, and very-long-haul networks, offers an icon-based map view of links and OTDR events, along with an essential summary table featuring pass/fail analysis. This ensures the detection, identification, and clear diagnosis of potential problems.
FTTA-SLM
Ideal for FTTA projects (base stations), includes the advantages of SML and incorporates specific FTTA configuration menus, auto-selection of the best acquisition parameters, OTDR signal analysis based on FTTA applications, and detection and identification of FTTA network elements along the fiber link.
FTTH-SLM,
designed for FTTH (point-to-point/point-to-multipoint) deployments, also includes all SLM features. It is distinguished by its specific FTTH configuration menus, a "search" mode (automatic detection and identification of PON splitters), the OptiPulses function (automatic editing with short and long pulse widths to detect all events before and after the splitters), and pass/fail thresholds compliant with ITU-T/IEEE PON standards.
Special offer
The COFITEL Group, as an authorized distributor of VIAVI Velocity, offers installers a special discount, valid until June 26, on the prices of these essential applications.
