VeEX RXT-4111 test module

The VeEX RXT-4111 test module for the RXT-1200 platform features a tuneable DWDM OTDR for testing optical Mux/Demux to verify channel routing and end-to-end connectivity. Multiservice DWDM networks can be verified with a single test platform ensuring maximum test productivity.

Software features include advanced software architecture supporting simultaneous test applications; VeExpress Cloud or Enterprise server versions to maintain instrument firmware and manage test assets or inventory; ReVeal PC software to manage test configurations and remote control; Fiberizer Desktop PC software for advanced trace analysis and report generation; Fiberizer Cloud trace analysis and data management; R-server support for centralised workforce management and test results repository; and optional fibre inspection scope (USB) support with V-Scope function.

Hardware features include high-resolution, 7″ full colour TFT touch-screen viewable in any lighting condition; connectivity via 10/100Base-T Management interface, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 3G card for back-office applications; intelligent fan operation with built-in temperature sensor; interchangeable Li-ion battery pack for extended test time; and USB-A interface for USB flash drives, USB wireless dongles and fibre inspection probe connection.

Key features include testing DWDM Mux/Demux at ITU-T G.694.1 wavelengths full C-band tuning (89 channels at 50 GHz spacing); integrated wavelength locker stable to within ±2.5 GHz; high dynamic range (up to 42 dB) for long haul fibres and testing through DWDM multiplexers/OADMs/de-multiplexers; sampling points up to 256,000; optimised test parameters for best-in-class dead zones; event dead zone <1m, Attenuation dead zone <5m; Telcordia GR-196 and SR-4731.sor file formats; optional V-Scout Link Mapping (multi-pulse widths, multi-wavelengths); optional DWDM Light Source via OTDR port; push/pull OTDR traces and Fiberscope images directly to Fiberizer Cloud via wired or wireless internet connection; built-in launch fibre to characterise OTDR connections and short fibre spans; and universal 2.5 mm optical interfaces with interchangeable optical adaptors (SC/FC/ST/LC).
