DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Optical fibers are the main transmission medium of modern telecommunications systems, including access networks such as FTTx, cable TV, and optical LANs. Moreover, they are increasingly being used in mobile communication and digital broadcasting systems. Technicians maintaining such diverse systems have to carry around a variety of measuring instruments, including OTDRs, radiation sources, optical power meters, visible light sources, and so on. On the other hand, in the construction of lines, measuring instruments with different functions and characteristics are required. For example, FTTx access networks use single-mode (SM) fibers, while optical LANs often use multi-mode (MM) fibers. In addition, core and backbone networks use long fibers, while access networks use short ones.

New series of reflectometers Anritsu MT9083x2 ACCESS Master solves these problems by offering all the features and performance you need to test any fiber in one compact, lightweight yet versatile instrument. Whether you are an installer or repairman, maintaining long lines or in-house wiring, you can always choose the right model in the Anritsu MT9083 line of optical reflectometers.

 

Russified user interface

In the menu of Anritsu MT9083A2, MT9083B2, MT9083C2 reflectometers of the ACCESS Master series, you can select the language in which the instrument's user interface will work. The list currently includes 11 different languages, including Russian.

Reflectometers Anritsu MT9083A2, MT9083B2 and MT9083C2 are fully Russified.

 

Anritsu MT9083A2, MT9083B2 and MT9083C2 OTDRs are compact, lightweight and versatile

With flexible built-in functions, the OTDR series ACCESS Master offers an ideal solution for efficient testing during construction and maintenance of optical fibers. The remarkably light and compact body houses a fully featured OTDR plus an optical tester, as well as quality measurement functions. With dimensions of 28.4 cm x 20 cm x 7.7 cm and a weight of 2.6 kg, as well as a fairly robust housing, the device is specifically designed for use in the field. By adding the options of a power meter and a visible light source to this excellent OTDR, you can reduce the number of instruments that are typically required for measurements.

 

Two modes of operation of optical reflectometers

While many OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers) provide either good dead zone performance or wide dynamic range, the MT9083 series offers both modes of operation in a single instrument. Depending on the current task, the user will be able to select the mode HIGH RESOLUTION (HR) or EXTENDED RANGE (ER). When the HR mode is selected, the device provides a good dynamic measurement range with a minimum dead zone (less than 1 meter). Selecting the ER mode provides excellent performance in terms of range, measurement speed and dead zone: a 100 km fiber can be tested in less than 10 seconds. ER mode is also used to test PON networks with up to 128 spurs.

Also, the Anritsu MT9083C series of optical reflectometers allows you to obtain reflectograms containing up to 150,001 points, which provides better than 2 meters distance resolution on fibers over 200 km.

 

Improved analysis of short fibers

With a reflection dead zone of less than 1 m (80 cm typical) and 5 cm reading resolution, the MT9083 OTDRs easily evaluate connections and diagnose discontinuities in PBX wiring, FTTx, SCS, and other types of short networks, providing a level of detail never seen before .

 

Testing fibers over 200 km

In addition to high resolution, the Anritsu MT9083 OTDRs also provide up to 46dB dynamic range (model MT9083C2), allowing you to test more than 200km of fiber at 1550nm, making these OTDRs a very useful tool for any type of network.

 

Measuring the parameters of splitters in PON networks

Many manufacturers of optical OTDRs claim to be able to test via splitters in passive optical networks (PONs), while OTDRs Anritsu MT9083 really provide performance that many other models can only dream of. With its wide dynamic range and fast data processing, the MT9083 guarantees unrivaled trace clarity when tested with single or cascaded splitters providing up to 1x128 taps.

 

The Anritsu MT9083 Series in Extended Range (ER) mode, using a 100 ns pulse, provides excellent dynamic range while maintaining a low dead zone to clearly display multiple closely spaced high division ratio splitters.

 

Fiber Visualizer Mode

Mode "Fiber Visualizer" is a new Fault Locator feature designed to simplify the testing process. This feature automatically selects test parameters to ensure the correct setup and present a graphical summary report for the fiber under test in seconds. , but also a visual graphical representation of the main elements of this fiber.You can then configure and generate a comprehensive PDF report that completes the testing process.This feature is standard on every Anritsu OTDR MT9083A2, MT9083B2, MT9083C2 and can greatly simplify the work with the OTDR for beginners, since facilitates understanding and interpretation of measurement results.

 

Analysis of the quality and purity of optical connectors using a video microscope

The MT9083 reflectometer series supports three types of microscopes: OPTION-545 VIP (increase 200 and 400), G0293A (increase 400) and G0306A (magnification 400). These three microscopes differ in the number of standard attachments and magnification. With their help, you can evaluate the purity and quality of optical connectors. Connector end faces can be safely viewed and photos can be saved to document all aspects of the network. Anritsu has also added a pass/fail analysis to the standard features of the video microscope. This new function automatically checks the condition of the connector surface for defects and scratches in accordance with the international standard using video. IEC 61300-3-35 (IEC61300-3-35). You can also create a PDF report.
