OTDR covers five wavelengths in one
The SRL OTDR helps technicians of various skill sets to quickly and efficiently meet their access/LAN network installation and maintenance requirements.
New from JDSU, the Short-Range LAN (SRL) OTDR for the T-BERD/MTS-6000 and T-BERD/MTS-8000 provides a novel testing combination of up to five wavelengths in both multimode and single-mode systems The SRL OTDR complements the existing range of OTDR modules within the T-BERD/MTS family and offers a combination of industry-leading dynamic range and dead-zone specifications, which are critical to characterising fibre networks and providing best-in-class optical performance

Visible solid-state laser adopts telecomms design
The FCD488 is the first telecomms-based visible solid-state laser designed for biomedical, industrial and semiconductor applications.
The SRL OTDR is engineered to help military, contractor and enterprise technicians, as well as construction and maintenance teams for cable and telecommunication network operators, save time and reduce errors when testing access and local area networks.
The SRL OTDR offers multiple industry-leading capabilities, including 0.5/2.5m event/attenuation dead zones and wavelength combinations (up to four wavelengths in multimode/single-mode and five wavelengths when adding out-of-band testing at 1625nm).
"The SRL OTDR, with its five wavelength test capability, sets a new standard", says Enzo di Luigi, General Manager of JDSU's Fibre Optics Communications Test and Measurement Group.
"With its advanced automation features and field pluggable design, the SRL OTDR helps technicians of various skill sets, from beginner to expert, quickly and efficiently meet their access/LAN network installation and maintenance requirements".
The SRL OTDR provides unique, one-button automated OTDR testing that helps save time and reduce errors in the field.
It is optimised for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) networks.
In addition, the SRL OTDR can be combined with all required connection check options available for the T-BERD/MTS-6000 and T-BERD/MTS-8000: connector inspection (VIP), end-to-end connectivity and trace faults in patch panel cabling (VFL), patch cord testing (LTS), power measurements (LTS), and optical return loss (ORL).
