Anritsu MT1000A tri-wavelength OTDR

Click2Contact

Anritsu’s tri-wavelength OTDR module for its Network Master Pro MT1000A portable optical tester provides field engineers and technicians with a comprehensive test tool to verify fibre lines in core, metro and mobile networks. 

The module supports macro-bend testing using the 1310/1550/1625 nm wavelengths. It also supports 46 dB dynamic range which allows the MT1000A to test long transit links and high loss networks.

The module also features Anritsu’s Fibre Visualizer, a fault location function that simplifies the entire testing process. It automatically selects the testing parameters to ensure the proper set-up and provides a simple graphical summary of the fibre under test within seconds. Fibre Visualizer also has individualised Pass/Fail analysis to simplify fibre-optic testing. 

Suitable for installation and maintenance of fibre networks, all Network Master Pro MT1000A OTDR modules will benefit from specialised functions to make field testing more efficient. A construction OTDR mode provides an automated method of testing numerous fibres at multiple wavelengths during cable installation. 

A single set-up screen initiates a testing wizard, ensuring all fibres are tested and results stored using consistent file naming. Additionally, a bidirectional measurement function has been added for simple event loss analysis.

The compact, battery-powered and easy-to-use tester provides a variety of testing capabilities in a rugged, field-portable package. A lightweight instrument, the MT1000A simplifies the daunting task of collecting and interpreting data, with an easy-to-use GUI and clear summaries allowing users of any skill level to operate the instrument to its full potential.

A multifunction tester, the MT1000A is field upgradeable and can be configured with an array of OTDR modules and transport testing functions, including RFC2544/6349, Y.1564, OTN and CPRI/OBSAI, to address current core, metro and mobile backhaul network needs, as well as the flexibility to expand to support future technologies.
