Anritsu OTDR Modules for Network Master Pro MT1000A tester

Click2Contact

Anritsu has announced the availability of OTDR modules for its next-generation Network Master Pro MT1000A all-in-one tester. These OTDR modules can operate standalone or be simultaneously installed with an available multirate transport module to create a rugged, handheld solution that field technicians can use to ensure the performance of mobile, metro, access or long-haul networks.

Anritsu’s Fibre Visualiser streamlines the optical testing process by minimising the number of settings to be made and compiling the results into a clear, graphical summary of both overall and individual characteristics. Colour-coded pass/fail results are provided based on user-defined thresholds. Failing events are also highlighted and viewable by touching the icon. When an optical link has passed all criteria, files can be saved and customised reports generated by pressing a button.

When combined with the MU100010A multirate transport module, the tester ensures optimal network operation. Its broad test capabilities, including OTDR, Loss Test Set, IEC 61300-3-35 based Connector Inspection, 10 MB to 10 GB Ethernet, SONET/SDH/PDH, Fibre Channel, OTN and CPRI, make it suitable for mobile front-haul, backhaul, CRAN, metro and access networks.

The OTDR modules feature high resolution and dynamic range of up to 46 dB to ensure quick and thorough evaluation of singlemode and multimode fibres. A visual fault locator (VFL) is also optional.
