FTTx/CWDM optical tester
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2004
The T-BERD 8000 and MTS-8000 optical test platform can now be used to deploy, troubleshoot, and maintain Fiber-To-The-X (FTTx) and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplex (CWDM) networks. With the ability to detect and identify passive optical components such as splitters and multiplexers, the 8000 platform enables you to fully characterize FTTx and CWDM optical networks. Field-installable application modules let you match any requirement for test function, size, weight, or price. OTDR plug-ins are available in four wavelength options and boast a short event dead zone of 1 m and testing capacity of up to 128,000 acquisition points. Acterna, Germantown, MD; www.acterna.com.
