Until now,
installing and maintaining optical networks required technicians to carry a
variety of equipment which was not only cumbersome, but also expensive. Hearing
this common complaint, Anritsu engineers have developed their new line of MT9083
ACCESS Master OTDRs. The MT9083A/B/C test sets are designed to make your
measurement experience simple and error-free with true one-button fault
location, pass/fail classification, automated file saving and naming and even a
macrobend detection feature for identifying installation issues. They feature
multiple wavelengths and options to satisfy any network testing requirement:
access or metro, FTTx or LAN...all without straining your budget.
For
customers installing and maintaining metro area or core networks, the ACCESS
Master offers an automated fiber construction application and multiple
wavelengths including specialty applications such as 1383 nm for certifying
legacy fibers for CWDM upgrades.
For FTTx
networks, the MT9083 series provides both optical testing for optical splits up
to a 1x128 plus quality of service (QoS) verification via the IP testing option.
With the IP option, continuity, download speed, throughput and frame loss of
Gigabit Ethernet links can be verified up to full line rate. It also features a
unique way to troubleshoot live PON based, FTTx networks without additional
costly and complicated external filters.
Additional
features include an integrated light source and power meter plus options to
customize the unit including higher range power meters, visual fault locator (VFL)
and connector inspection microscope to ensure complete network evaluation with a
single tool.
