CD Plug-in Module for T-BERD®/MTS Platforms

CD Plug-In Module (PDF, 1.30 MB)

The CD Plug-in Module for the T-BERD/MTS platforms provides fast and cost-effective CD testing for Metro DWDM deployment.

Highlights

• Compact, lightweight, and cost-effective solution for CD measurements.
• Access to only one end of the link is required for end-to-end testing.
• Combines multiple test functions (CD, OTDR, and Loss testing) in one module reducing the number of testers to carry in the field.
• Rugged design, with no moving parts, exceeds Telcordia recommendations for durability and transport.

Applications

• Dispersion budget measurement to ensure CD limits during installation and system upgrade.
• Troubleshooting legacy fibers before high-speed network provisioning.
• Troubleshooting fiber links by isolating sections which exceed performance thresholds.

Key Features

• Field-installable half-slot module.
• Directly compatible with existing base units.
• Based on TIA 175B Pulse Delay Method with 1310/1480/1550/1625 nm Quad wavelength lasers.
• Quad DFB laser source option for insertion loss measurements.
• FiberTrace viewer PC processing software for performance reports is available complimentary from the Internet.
