MTS6000A V2 with E81MRDISPAP CD/PMD/AP medium range module OBS500 source

The VIAVI optical dispersion measurement (ODM) module (E81MRDISPAP-PC) for the T-BERD/MTS-6000A, and -8000 offers chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and attenuation profile (AP) test functions in a single plug-in module. This module is the industry’s most compact and integrated dispersion solution dedicated to field testing Metro and Access fiber-optic networks. The OBS-500 handheld optical broadband LED source is specially designed for dispersion measurements together with ODM modules like the E81MRDISPAP. It combines test sources for CD, PMD and AP measurements allowing network operators, fibre installers and dark fibre providers to characterise any fiber system including technologies, such as CWDM/DWDM with ROADM and high speed networks from 10 Gig/10 Gbps to 400G/800G and beyond.
