VeEX RXT-4111 DWDM OTDR Module

The RXT-4111 test module for the VeEX® RXT-1200 platform features a tunable DWDM OTDR for testing optical Mux/ Demux to verify channel routing and end to end connectivity. Multi-service DWDM networks can be verified with a single test platform ensuring maximum test productivity.

DWDM

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is a transmission technology that multiplexes multiple optical carrier signals on a single fiber by using different wavelengths (colors).

The ITU-T G.694.1 frequency grid specifies the DWDM wavelengths in the C-band (1525-1565 nm) and L-band (1565-1620 nm). The most popular implementation occurs in the Conventional or C band which has the ability to transport up to 80 wavelengths in the 1550 nm region - the spectrum supports the lowest attenuation and best amplification efficiency with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA).

Leveraging the powerful “tried-and-tested” RXT-1200 platform, the RXT-4111 OTDR module tackles DWDM network test challenges head-on.

Test Application

Telco, Mobile and CATV operators offering or utilizing DWDM technology need to characterize, maintain and troubleshoot these fiber networks using new OTDR test methods

• Networks need to be verified at the discrete ITU G.694.1 wavelengths
• End-to-end loss through multiplexers, OADM and de-multiplexers needs to be checked
• Attenuation and Macrobending can be verified across the C-band
• End-to-end continuity testing using stable source should be performed prior to service turn up
• Wavelength provisioning - verify new wavelength services and routes without disrupting traffic on active channels

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)

Intuitive Test Setup

An intuitive menu structure offers simple test setup for Novice and Expert users alike. Test parameters can be configured manually by the user or set automatically by the unit.

Up to 89 x DWDM wavelengths at 50 GHz spacing in the C-band are supported via a very precise and stable tunable laser. Channel spacings of 100 GHz, 200 GHz and custom tables are also supported.

Analysis Thresholds

User defined thresholds for splice loss, connector loss, fiber lengths and reflectance can be preset to assess a fiber’s condition. Color coding used in the event table will display events exceeding Pass/Fail thresholds and alert technicians of a potential problem.

V-Scout Link Mapping

Advanced algorithms evaluate separate acquisitions and characterize the fiber span using intuitive symbols. Each individual acquisition can be customized and user defined as a test profile depending on network type or application. This optional feature eliminates event interpretation and provides greater analysis confidence to the user, regardless of OTDR skill set.

Advanced Trace Analysis

Reliable event detection and accurate analysis are crucial to document fiber links at the time of installation. These baseline records are essential to troubleshooting faulty networks and reducing system downtime afterwards.

The DWDM OTDR employs specialized software algorithms developed from decades of experience to measure fiber attenuation including anomalies such as connectors, splices, and macro-bends. Precise location and analysis of ROADM network elements is also supported.

OTDR Results

OTDR Traces are saved in Telcordia SR-4731 format in a logical hierarchy for easy sorting and storage.

Traces can be pushed directly to Fiberizer Cloud using any available internet connection or can be pulled for fault finding and reference purposes.

FIBERIZER™ OTDR Trace Analysis and Documentation

Fiberizer™ Desktop

Fiberizer Desktop is a standalone PC software application to analyze traces acquired by the RXT-4111 OTDR. Supplied as a standard accessory, Users can edit traces manually, create event tables, generate reports using built-in templates and much more. This viewer displays trace files conforming to Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-196 & SR-4731 *.sor formats, and offers both 2-point and 5-point loss measurement modes. It also supports batch processing, a very useful feature for analyzing multiple fibers in a single cable. The software does not require Internet access to operate, but it can be interfaced with Fiberizer Cloud OTDR trace viewer at any time.

Work from Anywhere, Anytime

Fiberizer™ Cloud

Fiberizer Cloud not only empowers the OTDR, but also the Workforce. Going way beyond traditional OTDR reporting methods or concepts, this cloud-based solution provides superior centralized test data management capabilities including powerful web based trace analyses. You can work from almost anywhere, at anytime because Fiberizer Cloud is a full online web service.

Streamlining onsite data reporting

Fiber technicians and contractors tasked to validate new fiber installations or restoring cable routes after an outage are generally obliged to submit measured data (.sor files) and related documentation to the network operator as proof of delivery before being paid. Valuable time however is often wasted after the onsite work is completed, because critical test files are usually first stored to some local storage media before being transferred to a colleague via email for verification and further reporting. Fiberizer Cloud streamlines this information exchange, eliminating costly paper, e-mail or other time consuming communication methods - instead, time wastage can be avoided by transferring traces of jobs completed directly from the OTDR to Fiberizer Cloud. Professional PDF or MS Excel reporting functionality is also available, and users can create their own templates for reports. Bidirectional analysis of OTDR traces, tested from both ends of the optical fiber, can also be performed.
