Anritsu CMA5000A 5225 SM Fiber OTDR

Anritsu CMA5000A Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
The CMA5000/a Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) application represents the latest offering from a company that’s been in the OTDR business for over 30 years. Our world–class OTDR modules continue this tradition with the latest in high performance hardware and dedicated, easy to use software.

High Performance Hardware
To satisfy even the most demanding testing requirements, the CMA5000/a series OTDR modules, feature a multitude of available wavelengths including 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, 1383 nm, 1410 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm and 1625nm.. Up to four of these wavelengths can then be combined into a single optical port providing full spectrum fiber characterization at the press of a button and are ideal for testing backbone or metro networks that deploy CWDM. For ultra-long haul systems, the CMA5000/a OTDR modules feature up to 50 dB of dynamic range (enough to see approximately 250 km of fiber) - with an impressive 1 meter resolution.

Dedicated, Ease to Use Software
To simplify testing, the CMA5000/a features dedicated testing modes to automate and simplify the task at hand. FAULT LOCATE mode is designed for the novice just starting out or someone who only uses an OTDR occasionally. Simply connect the fiber and press test, the unit will verify the fiber is connected correctly, select testing parameters, execute the test and provide a text response indicating fault/break location and end to end loss.

For those who have more experience or would like to perform more advanced testing, CLASSIC OTDR mode allows the user to select all parameters, compare up to eight traces and even generate splice loss reports.

Reflectance and Optical Return Loss
With data rates increasing and video applications growing exponentially, reflectance and optical return loss (ORL) become key parameters that will make or break your network. To simplify testing these, Anritsu has developed a unique OTDR based, ORL application that provides meter accuracy, combined with the trouble-shooting ability of an OTDR to add the expertise you need in testing today’s demanding optical systems. Simply connect the fiber, enter your PASS/FAIL threshold and press test. If a test fails ORL, a quick press of our exclusive troubleshooting key presents a table listing the top three contributors to the failing ORL - complete with location. By identifying the problem connector, technicians will save hours of random troubleshooting time. The ORL option also functions as a 1 km single mode launch box increasing its value.

Cable commissioning is also automated through the use of CONSTRUCTION OTDR mode where a wizard allows the user to select the required testing wavelengths, number of fibers and file naming scheme. The wizard then becomes the project manager guiding the user through the testing and ensuring consistency with testing parameters and file naming - virtually eliminating user induced errors.

Challenging new architectures such as Fiber-To-The-x (FTTx) deployments that incorporate Passive Optical Networks (PON) are also easily addressed with our exclusive PON MODE solution featuring dead zones as small as 1 meter and the ability to classify up to a 1X32 splitter.

Added Value
To further increase the value of your CMA5000/a OTDR, it can be equipped with an integrated power meter, a high output stabilized light source and integrated Visual Fault Locator (VFL). These options are integrated into the single slot OTDR module and do not require an additional module slot like some other solutions. In addition, all OTDR wavelengths are available as stabilized light sources reducing the equipment cost and providing a complete end-to-end loss testing solution. Whatever your testing needs, our world-class OTDR products are designed to reduce the time to install, commission and maintain fiber spans.
