VIAVI OCETS Plus Optical Component Environmental Test System

OCETS Plus is the evolution of the classic OCETS system that has been shipping from JDSU for over a decade. The Classic OCETS hardware specifications and software algorithms have been improved to meet the latest market requirements for optical component qualification testing, such as those driven by Verizon’s FOC program. At the Core of OCETS Plus is a pair of custom grade JDSU SC Series programmable switches (1xN configuration). OCETS switches are specified to higher levels of IL repeatability and background RL than JDSU analogue grade SC switches. Therefore, the implementation of an OCETS Plus system represents an improvement over the capability of any in-house system that utilizes analogue grade SC switch. In addition to the SC switches, OCETS Plus is a hardware platform that comprises Fabry-Perot lasers, an OTDR, a source switch, directional switches, a polarisation controller, high directivity couplers, and a power meter.
