VIAVI ODM Optical Dispersion Module for T-BERD/MTS Platforms

The Optical Dispersion Measurement (ODM) module combines chromatic dispersion (CD), polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) and attenuation profile (AP) measurements into a single high performance solution.

The combination of the CD, PMD and AP test functions allows network operators, fiber installers and dark fiber providers to charcacterize any fiber systems including new technologies, such as CWDM/DWDM with ROADM and high speed 10 GigE, 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps+ networks.

Highlights

• Multi-function test module with "three-in-one" applications
• World's smallest solution for dispersion testing
• Full-band CD analyser (Phase Shift Method) with measurement points in the lower bands (1260-1460 nm)
• Test through non-bi-directional components (EDFA, filters...)
• Compatible witMTS-8000 / T-BERD 8000, MTS-6000 / T-BERD 6000

Applications

• Very high-speed network: 40 Gbps and higher
• Amplified optical fiber links
• Metro, long-haul and very long-haul optical networks

Key Features

• Very fast CD acquisition time
• Internal and on-line wavelength referencing
• Accurate zero-wavelength characterisation on G.652 fiber
• Compatibility with a plug-in (BBS2A) or handheld (OBS-550) broadband sources at far end
• Single input port for any test configuration
