Optimized for Verifying Pon Splitters Up to 1 × 128 Count

Many OTDRs claim to be able to test splitter-based, passive optical networks (PON) but the MT9083 delivers in a way others wish they could. With its high dynamic range and quick data acquisition, the MT9083 provides unparalleled resolution of single or closely spaced, cascaded splitters up to an industry-leading 1 × 128 count.

Designed with the Features that Matter Most

When buying products, you tend to choose ones that are innovative and from established companies. When you need to install and maintain optical networks, this should also apply. With over 50 years of combined OTDR design, Anritsu, delivers the features that matter.

Having been in the test and measurement business for a long time, we understand that things like performance, portability, reliability, easy operation and of course price are important.

Quick Startup
The ACCESS Master is ready for measurement about 15 seconds after power-on so productive work can start immediately.

Long Battery Life
Since AC power is not always available where you need it, especially at fiber pedestals, the MT9083 typically provides up to 8 hours of operation on a single charge. This coupled with an optional car cord (for cigarette lighter operation) guarantees the MT9083 is ready when you are.

Portable
With its light weight design and user friendly dimensions, the MT9083 is perfect for the outside plant environment and can easily be managed with one hand. The shoulder strap (part of the protector option) further increases portability when travelling from the truck to the testing site.

Rugged
The MT9083 features a solid casework with no fans or vents to keep dust or moisture from entering the unit.In addition, the protector option (MT9083A/B/C-010) includes rubber bumpers and a display cover for additional protection from those minor mishaps.

Generous Data Storage
With the ability to store up to 1,000 traces in internal memory and up to 30,000 via a USB device, the MT9083 offers plenty of storage for collecting and managing data.

No Experience Required
With the ACCESS Master, the experience is built in. With specialized testing modes, automatic parameter selection, PASS/FAIL indicators as well as features to virtually eliminate the chance to get "bad" results, the MT9083 can make anyone seems like a 20 year veteran. Let it help you master your network.

Easy "drag and drop" File Transfers
When the MT9083 is connected to a PC via a USB cable, the internal memory of the ACCESS Master can be directly accessed. Data can be selected, dragged and dropped into the PC memory, greatly simplifying file transfers. The MT9083 also supports use of USB memory sticks.

Common OTDR Data Format
The MT9083 supports the universal Telcordia SR-4731 (issue 2) format making it compatible with not only legacy Anritsu and NetTest products, but with many other vendors data.

Free and Simple Software Upgrades
Firmware upgrades are easily performed via USB and available from the Anritsu website for registered users or through Anritsu customer support.

Active fiber check
Not only can OTDR measurements be effected when the optical fiber is in-service but there is a potential risk of damage to the transmitter and OTDR receiver. To prevent these problems, the MT9083 verifies if light is present before starting measurement and will not transmit if it is. An on-screen warning and internal OTDR protection are also part of this useful feature.

Integrated Macrobend Detection
With many technicians making the switch from copper installations to optical fiber, installation issues such as macrobends are bound to occur. To help prevent this, Anritsu has developed a macrobend detection feature for the MT9083 that will alert technicians when a possible macrobend is present. This provides a higher quality of service for the customer and eliminates costly troubleshooting for you.

Wavelengths for Today's Networks
Sometimes you just need more than the traditional 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths to certify your next generation networks. The MT9083 offers a host of specialized wavelengths including 1383 nm for water peak verification of CWDM carrying fibers, 1650 nm (with integrated filter) for live fiber troubleshooting, 1490 nm for verification of voice, data and IP based video services and 780 nm for in-service troubleshooting of FTTx networks - without the need for any additional filters.
