DMC to boost efficiency of optical fiber network testing introduced by JDSU
FEBRUARY 4, 2010 JDSU in Milpitas, Calif., is introducing the Dual Module Carrier (DMC) for the T-BERD/MTS-8000 portable fiber optic network test equipment, which enables technicians to determine and troubleshoot network traffic problems from two directions using one test solution, rather than both ends of a local circuit.
In the typical CO and tier 2/3 troubleshooting environment, two testers have traditionally been necessary to determine that the network segment is properly passing traffic. Now, using one T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC, technicians can find network traffic problems from both directions with one set of test equipment.
The T-BERD/MTS-8000 offers concurrent capture/decode and TCP WireSpeed testing on two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. A 10M to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, DS1/E1 to OC-192/STM-64, OTN, PDH, Next Generation SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel test solution, the T-BERD/MTS-8000 DMC is capable of simultaneous troubleshooting both sides of a circuit -- using one tester.
The DMC also offers the ability to run four concurrent tests, so technicians can share a test set for installation and troubleshooting in a central office, and offers service provider labs sufficient port density for long-term equipment "soak" testing across several interfaces with the portability needed to take soak testing to the field.
