Bi-directional fiber certification for MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2

Enhanced TestPRO/FiberComplete capabilities for 4100B OTDR module

• Industries fastest two wavelength bi-directional IL/ORL & length measurement plus instant continuity check reduces test time (3.5s typical on simplex fiber)
• High speed instrument-to-instrument communication via test port and fiber under test
• No additional communications media required (WiFi connection, Smartphone tethering, USB, etc.)
• Eliminate test configuration errors and reduce instrument setup time, data exchange
• Remove unnecessary file transfer, automatically retrieve results from remote/far-end
• Improve near-end/far-end tech process workflow and cut down on SMS/phone calls, send pre-defined messages

SW option to add FiberComplete capabilities to 4100B OTDR module

• Evolve test requirements with your needs, deploy automated bi-directional IL/ORL and OTDR testing to units in the fieldBi-directional fiber certification for MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2

Support for New xWDM Test Modules

Nano OSA Modules

The first truly field ready Optical Channel Verifier (OCV) and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) modules specifically developed to enable fast and reliable xWDM deployment in access networks. Delivering all the key features and capabilities needed they can grow/expand as your test requirements demand to enable fast and efficient deployment of any new high-speed C/D/M/LWDM services for Wireless 4G and 5G, CATV/MSO DAA and R-PHY, plus next gen WDM PON networks.

• Smallest and toughest field OSA on the market
• Turn-up and verify any new or legacy xWDM service, full band & high resolution
• A single field solution combines OSA with Ethernet/BERT, OTDR or Wireless RF test
• Pluggable transceiver tuning and verification with integrated SFP/SFP+ bay
