PMD Plug-In Modules for T-BERD®/MTS Platforms

MTS/T-BERD Platforms - PMD Module (PDF, 0.79 MB)

The PMD Plug-in Modules provide fast and cost-effective PMD testing for Metro DWDM deployment.

Highlights

• Compact and lightweight design for prolonged use in the field.
• Rugged design with no moving parts exceeds Telcordia recommendations for durability and transport.
• Combined PMD/WDM option for spectral analysis.

Applications

• Dispersion budget measurements to ensure PMD performance during installation and system upgrade.
• Troubleshoot legacy fibers before high-speed network provisioning.
• Attenuation profile measurements to ensure gain flattening in the C to L bands.
• DWDM channel measurements in the C to L bands.

Key Features

• Field-installable, single-slot module.
• Directly compatible with existing T-BERD/MTS platforms.
• Based on EIA/TIA FOTP 113 Fixed Analyzer Method with a handheld, battery-operated broadband polarized source and polarizer.
• FiberTrace viewer PC processing software (OFS-110) for performance reports is complimentary from the Internet.
