OTDR

Knowledge Hub

Want to learn more about OTDR testing? Then you know how important it is to do fast and accurate measurements of optical fiber cables. Check out the content below to gain a better understanding of all the possible scenarios that can occur during an optical fiber installation, learn how to automate measurements to save time and minimize mistakes, and gain some techniques to reduce technician mistakes.

ACCESS Master MT9085A series

The ACCESS Master MT9085 series is a compact handheld all-in-one tester for performing optical pulse tests, optical loss/power measurements, and optical fiber end-face inspections. It has a wide variety of applications, ranging from installation and maintenance (I&M) of trunk fibers (Core, Metro, 5G/Mobile Fronthaul, Mobile Backhaul) to troubleshooting Access networks, such as breaks in drop cables.

Learn How to Perform SFP Verification Test Using the Anritsu Network Master Pro

This video will show you how to verify the optics that are being used to communicate between the baseband unit (BBU) and the remote radio head (RRH).

Learn How to Verify Fiber Using Anritsu’s Vision Inspection Probe (VIP)

In this video, you'll learn how to test fiber with the Autofocus Vision Inspection probe to verify the fiber end face is clean in order to prevent any contamination during the installation process.

MT9083A/B/C - OTDR Fiber Visualizer Demonstration

The ACCESS Master MT9083 kit has been designed so each component optimizes the technicians work flow and load. This instructional video outlines Fiber Visualizer (a one-touch button designed to simplify optic fiber testing) software modes, preferences, test cases, error messages, saving reports, fiber troubleshooting and best practice for optical fiber connector cleaning.

MT9090A OTDR Measurement Application Edition

The palm-size MT9090A modular platform from Anritsu finally addresses all of these needs. Users can interchange different modules to configure the MT9090A as an optical fault locator, general purpose OTDR, CWDM optical channel analyzer or 10/100/1000MB Ethernet tester. Operation is quite similar between modules so the user is immediately familiar with operation.

Data Sampling Resolution And OTDR Accuracy

Data Sampling Resolution And OTDR Accuracy

This white paper is directed at service providers and technicians who work on the Outside Plant. It addresses the optimal setting for any given fiber as it relates to resolution setting on the OTDR. Many user-controlled parameters can affect the accuracy of an OTDR distance measurement.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Testing

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Testing

The MT9085 series of all-in-one testers is for evaluation at optical-fiber I&M. It is the first model in the popular ACCESS Master series to use a touchscreen for improved operability at waveform analysis, etc. The powerful Fiber Visualizer function supports one-button measurement from parameter setting through to analysis of results.
