Anritsu tri-wavelength µOTDR module range

The latest series of µOTDR modules for Network Master MT9090A platform, a tool for installing and maintaining optical networks, features 2 cm resolution and up to 250,000 data points for accurate mapping events, deadzones of less than 1 m and dynamic range up to 38 dB to ensure accurate and complete fibre evaluation of any network type - premise to access, metro to core - including PON-based FTTX networks featuring up to a 1x64 split.

Dynamic range and performance of mid-range pulse widths are also enhanced to provide better resolution, eliminating the need to test at multiple wavelengths.

With power meter, stabilised light source, loss test set, PON power meter and connector inspection microscope options, the tri-wavelength instrument is also available as standalone 1625 or 1650 nm models for maintenance-only applications.

What used to take multiple test instruments or something big and bulky is now replaced by a single instrument, with dimensions of 19 x 9.6 x 4.8 cm and a weight of 700 g; and the MT9090A with MU909014C/15C module is claimed to be the most complete, compact, optical I&M tool available.
