Anritsu MT1000A Tri-wavelength OTDR

Click2Contact

Anritsu introduces a tri-wavelength OTDR module for its Network Master Pro MT1000A portable optical tester that 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 popular 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.

This new OTDR module also features Anritsu’s Fibre Visualizer, a fault location function that simplifies the entire testing process. Fibre Visualizer 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.

Ideally suited for installation and maintenance of fibre networks, all Network Master Pro MT1000A OTDR modules will benefit from new, 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 Bi-Directional measurement function has been added for accurate and simple event loss analysis.

The compact, battery-powered and easy-to-use Network Master Pro MT1000A 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, CPRI/OBSAI, to address current core, metro and mobile backhaul network needs, as well as the flexibility to expand to support future technologies.
