Cost-effective, small, rugged and easy-to-use
test equipment for installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of CWDM access
networks
The new MU909020A/Optical channel Analyzer module is a field modular device
designed to measure and monitor power and wavelength over the 18 CWDM channels.
It is a cost-effective alternative to more complex OSA for the emerging CWDM
market, providing fast and reliable measurements in every environment. The
small, lightweight and rugged handheld design makes this the ideal tool
for field technicians tasked with installation, maintenance and
troubleshooting of CWDM access networks.
Dedicated tool for CWDM applications
The MU909020A Optical Channel Analyzer is purpose built for testing CWDM
channels in the field. It provides an overview of the power levels and
wavelengths of all 18 CWDM channels at a glance. In addition, PASS/FAIL
thresholds are stored for all parameters and configurations defined in ITU-T
G.695 recommendation, allowing technicians to easily assess the network
condition. It also enables long-term characterizations with several drift
functions. With its software interface focused exclusively on the features
needed, it is easy to use for any skill level, significantly decreasing training
expenses.

Fast measurement in the field
The MU909020A is ready for measurement in about 15 seconds, so productive
work can start immediately. With no moving parts, the MU909020A is faster than
any OSA, providing quick troubleshooting of a CWDM network. Besides, measurement
results can easily be added to test reports, thanks to the ability to save
screen shots, to store data in the internal memory or on external USB memory
devices, and to easily transfer files into a PC. With its lightweight design and user friendly
dimensions, the Optical Channel Analyzer is perfect for the outside plant
environment and can easily be managed with one hand. Its high resolution, full
color, 4.3 inch wide screen display is the perfect format for viewing results.
It also provides excellent readability both indoors and outdoors. And since AC
power is not always available where you need it, especially at fiber pedestals,
the MT9090A typically provides 4 hours of testing on battery. The small,
lightweight and rugged handheld design makes this the ideal tool for
field technicians tasked with installation, maintenance and
troubleshooting of CWDM access networks.

Modular Design
The MT9090A features a modular design allowing
modules to be easily changed in the field. Users can interchange different
Optical Channel Analyzer modules or perform other optical network testing such
as verification of drop cable installation with the available MU909011A Fault
Locator module. Operation of all the modules is quite similar, so the user will
immediately be familiar with their operation.
