Fiber Optic Test Modules
The MTS 5100 Mini OTDR, and the MTS 5200 Mainframe OTDR from Wavetek incorporate two docking bays for optical modules to increase test and measurement capabilities of these optical time-domain reflectometers. The multimode modules enable network installers and maintainers to switch between single mode, and multimode testing to evaluate the performance of hybrid fiber-optic local area networks.
Multimode optical modules are available in single wavelength 850 nm or 1,330 nm versions, and a dual wavelength 850/1,300-nm version. All the modules offer a 22 dB dynamic range, and at 850 nm, provide a minimum event dead zone of one meter. This enables accurate discrimination of two reflective events, such as connectors or mechanical splices.
