Handheld OTDR for the Installation and Maintenance of Optical Networks

Anritsu-MT9090A01 November 2010 - Anritsu Company announced its new Network Master MT9090A Micro-OTDR, a tool for the installation and maintenance of today’s optical networks. With performance that rivals traditional OTDRs that are four times the size and more than double the price, the Network Master MT9090A µOTDR has created a new class of test instruments.

It features 5 cm resolution for accurate mapping of events, deadzones of less than 1 meter (3 feet) and dynamic range up to 35dB to ensure accurate and complete fiber evaluation of any network type – premise to access, metro to core…including PON-based FTTX networks featuring up to a 1x64 split. The µOTDR clearly evolves far beyond the premise/access applications that other handheld OTDRs service. Metro links can be tested with lower pulse widths and better resolution while long haul fibers up to 1 75km (108 miles) can also be completely evaluated.

The MT9090A µOTDR also takes portability to a whole new level. With dimensions of just 19 cm x 9.6 cm x 4.8 cm (7.5”x3.8”x1.9”) and a weight of only 700 g (<1.54 lbs.), the µOTDR is the smallest and lightest OTDR on the market. With its lightweight design and user friendly dimensions, the MT9090A is perfect for the outside plant environment and can easily be managed with one hand.

“There are many handheld OTDRs on the market that appear to be a good value until they are put into action and the user quickly finds out that they lack the performance needed to install and maintain today’s networks” states Stephen Colangelo, Director of Marketing and Business Development at Anritsu Company. “The Network Master MT9090A with MU909014x/15x modules is the first pocket-size OTDR that does not compromise performance. It features extremely high resolution and high range while providing unmatched simplicity. The Network Master µOTDR represents a new era in optical fiber testing!”
