PE.fiberoptics ONA600 Optical Network Analyser system

The ONA600 Optical Network Analyser is a versatile tool for characterisation of optical fibres and networks. The system consists of a mainframe with plug-in modules for measurement of chromatic dispersion (CD610), polarisation mode dispersion (PMD610) and spectral attenuation with a range of optical light sources. Designed to deliver high performance in a field environment, the modular design ensures flexibility in testing next-generation networks.

The product is lightweight, rugged and fully portable. An integrated touch screen provides fingertip operation for set-up and measurement with dedicated keys for all common operations. A variety of combinations of mainframe, modules and sources is available, enabling the user to configure the system to match requirements.

The CD610 delivers accurate chromatic dispersion measurements using the differential phase-shift method for all types of fibre. It may be used for testing dispersion of compensated networks and for finetuning the dispersion of completed links. Featuring a remote LED broadband light source (ONA610LS), optical fibre links can be measured with a single connection to the test fibre. The light source unit is available with single or dual LEDs allowing 1310, 1400, 1550 or 1620 nm windows to be continuously covered.

The PMD610 is a tool for characterising polarisation mode dispersion and has a dynamic range exceeding 60 dB. It delivers accurate PMD measurements using the interferometric method for all types of fibre. Featuring a remote LED broadband light source (ONA610LS), networks can be measured with a single connection to the test fibre. The light source unit is available with single or dual LEDs allowing 1310, 1410, 1550 or 1620 nm windows to be continuously covered.

The SA610 enables accurate measurement of spectral attenuation with high dynamic range. Measurements can cover all or part of the wavelength range from 1250 to 1640 nm depending on the choice of ONA610LS light source. The spectral attenuation system also uses the ONA610LS portable light source.

Other product features include: Windows XP operating system; large hard drive; USB; RS232C; ethernet and external video connectors; external keyboard and mouse connectors; optional battery; optional travel case.
