Anritsu has launched the MT8801C radio communications analyser, offering the capability to test the latest internet mobile phones quickly and efficiently.
The MW90010A can locate faults on optical submarine cables as long as 12,000km with 100 times the accuracy of previous instruments.
The MW90010A detects faults with 10m resolution and can collect 1.2 million data points for accurate analysis on ultra-long optical submarine cables up to 12,000km in length.
The C-OTDR detects faults and captures important waveform data, including cable loss, bending loss and fibre length, that support detailed cable evaluation.
Due to its rapid measurement ability and a dynamic range of 17dB, the MW90010A can accurately measure optical submarine cables with optical repeaters spaced at intervals of 80km or more.
The wavelength of the MW90010As built-in light source can be tuned with +/-0.2nm accuracy in the range of 1535.03 to 1565.08nm to support DWDM submarine cable systems.
The MW90010A is one-third the size of previous OTDRs.
It measures 320 x 177 x 451mm and weighs less than 17kg..
