MTS/T-BERD Platforms Medium Range (MR) OTDR Module


Key Features

CWDM/DWDM ready with 1310,1490, 1550, and 1625 nm wavelengths FTTx ready with 1310/1490/1550 nm wavelengths 0.8 m event dead zone for highest network precision Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) testing with a combined high dynamic range and high resolution solution Continuous wave (CW) functionality

The optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) is at the core of fiber optic characterization. Allowing measurements of fiber link attenuation, attenuation coefficient, reflection, splice/connector loss, and point of error, all as part of the fiber distance function.

Multi-application optical test module In todays telecommunications market, test solutions must be cost effective, increase productivity, and reduce the complexity of field testing. JDSUs Medium Range (MR) OTDR Module offers a high-performance OTDR test module, which has been specifically developed in response to these industry demands. Configurable at the time of order, the MR OTDR Module offers multiple wavelength test capabilities (1310, 1490, 1550, and 1625 nm), providing field technicians with an all-in-one test instrument. The MR OTDR Module's performance enables effective testing on short haul (access, FTTx, P2MP)and long haul networks.

MR OTDR MODULE

Test the fiberwith the right solutionat the right wavelength As fiber installers and technicians continue to look for ways to reduce time and costs during field operation, it is essential for them to use the right tool for the job at hand. The combination of an unprecedented 0.1 s refreshing time, the shortest event resolution (0.8 m event dead zone and 4 m attenuation dead zone), and a 40 dB dynamic range, makes the MR OTDR Module an ideal tool for the qualification of any type of fiber network. A large range of wavelengths is available to best match any application: For metro networks, a three-wavelength (1310/1550/1625 nm) MR OTDR Module is used for fiber qualification (according to ITU standards G.652, G.655, and G.656). For access networks, a three-wavelength (1310/1490/1550 nm) MR OTDR Module is used for fiber qualification at FTTx transmission wavelengths. A new standard in OTDR performance The MR OTDR Module is a high performance OTDR and is capable of characterizing sections of singlemode fiber links that have been illusive in the past. With a 0.8 m event dead zone, it is now possible to qualify and troubleshoot problems in never before investigated sections of the fiber link. Pinpoint any fault in the network. Discriminate a failure or break within the patch panel or distribution frame. Reduce testing time for medium and long haul fiber network commissioning. Obtain a superior and cleaner trace form for high link loss for best fault detection.

Obtain the trace form with the correct auto zoom, evaluate the fiber link, and save the results in record time! Minimize handling errors with the pass/fail indicator. By viewing a quick snapshot, technicians can easily identify incorrect results. Test through a PON splitter with the best available performance With the combination of an impressive acquisition time, event dead zone, and dynamic range, FTTx technicians are able to test through a splitter with unprecedented accuracy using the MR OTDR Module. In compliance with ITU-T G.983.3, the MR OTDR Module provides a three-wavelength version at 1310/1490/1550 nm, expanding its test capabilities to FTTx/PON. Provides splice and connector information at the three PON wavelengths. Combines a high dynamic range and short event resolution in order to characterize short fiber lengths and measure through the splitters. Integrates splitter management data in the table results.
