- Ultra-long distance reach up to 12,000 km
- Compact and lightweight all-in-one design for on-site / on-ship portability
- Fault detection with 10-m distance resolution
- Wide dynamic range supporting fault detection and troubleshooting of submarine cables with repeaters at 80km or wider intervals
- Integrated tunable light source with high wavelength accuracy of ±0.2nm for wavelength setting range of 1535.03 to 1565.08 nm
- Adjustable output power from 0 to +13 dBm
- Simple and easy touch-panel operation for easy first-time use
The MW90010A Coherent OTDR (C-OTDR) detects faults in ultra-long optical submarine cables of up to 12,000km including multiple repeaters (EDFA). It is the ideal solution for evaluating new cables at service deployment as well as for troubleshooting in-service faults.
