JDSU adds combined multimode and singlemode OTDR modules to T-BERD/MTS-4000

SEPTEMBER 19, 2010 -- JDSU has introduced two optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) modules for the T-BERD/MTS-4000. The Multimode (MM)/Singlemode (SM) Quad and Multimode modules are single-slot OTDRs with certification tools for the installation, turn-up, and maintenance of premises/enterprise networks as well as wireless backhaul infrastructure.

JDSU will highlight the new modules at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Torino, Italy from September 20 – 22, booth #140.

JDSU identified the following as key features of the Quad/MM OTDRs:

dual multimode (850/1300 nm) or Quad (850/1300 and 1310/1550 nm) wavelengths

dynamic range of 27/25 dB (MM), 37/35 dB (SM)

short dead zones: <1 m (event)/4 m (attenuation)

provides source (continuous or modulated) and power meter through the OTDR ports (SM and MM), combining OTDR and loss test set functionalities to help reduce the number of tools in the field

effectively combines with the JDSU Enterprise Services Application Module (ESAM), copper, and triple-play functions for a better return on investment (ROI)

The user-friendly interface is designed to help technicians with port quality check, automatic settings, loss limits per events and fiber links, automatic event analysis, and results management. The modules also provide technicians with an all-in-one instrument that features advanced test functionality specifically developed in response to emerging industry demands, JDSU asserts. The modules are engineered to be effective in addressing enterprise networks and wireless backhaul, covering all testing needs with one platform and enabling SM and MM fiber testing.
