Purpose-Built for Technicians
Until now, the right tool just didn't exist for technicians to quickly and cost-effectively isolate network problems. Traditional, dedicated testers did the job but lacked the ability to be upgraded when new technologies were deployed. Likewise, more flexible platforms were too large, too expensive and too complicated.

The new, palm-size MT9090A modular platform from Anritsu finally addresses all of these needs. Users can interchange different modules to configure the MT9090A as an optical fault locator, general purpose OTDR, CWDM optical channel analyzer or 10/100/1000MB Ethernet tester. Operation is quite similar between modules so the user is immediately familiar with operation.

Small but Capable
Despite its small size, the MT9090A does not compromise performance or features. With a high resolution indoor/outdoor display, excellent optical performance, innovative features and expandable modular design, the MT9090A Network Master is clearly in a different class than most other "handheld testers".

ACCESS Master

Until now, installing and maintaining optical networks required technicians to carry a variety of equipment which was not only cumbersome, but also expensive.

The CMA5000a OTDR application, when combined with the Polarization Mode Dispersion, Chromatic Dispersion, ORL, and Video Inspection Probe applications, becomes the most comprehensive fiber characterization tool available.

CD-OTDR Modules

The field portable CMA5000a OTDR/Chromatic Dispersion application is a dedicated module that combines the advanced capabilities of Anritsu’s OTDR technology with Anritsu’s experience in Chromatic Dispersion. The CMA5000a OTDR/CD measurement system is based upon the industry accepted time-of-flight measurement method (FOTP-168) and uses multiple wavelengths to increase the accuracy of the measurement. Only a single fiber is needed to test dispersion slope and zero-dispersion wavelength as well as traditional OTDR characteristics of loss, length and attenuation on all single mode fiber types. This provides carriers and service providers increased revenue through optimized network bandwidth, while improving efficiency and reducing operational expenses through proper CD mitigation and compensation techniques.

PMD Application

Before any network upgrades are performed, PMD should be tested to see what the physical limitations are. The CMA5000a PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion) module is designed to assess the capability of each fiber in the network and verify which transmission rates any given fiber can support. The CMA5000a PMD module can also identify fibers that are capable of the highest transmission rates, allowing service providers to assign these to key customers or the most demanding communications.
