Overview

The ACCESS Master MT9085A-053 is the standard-dynamic-range, general-purpose model of the Anritsu MT9085 series. It is a compact handheld all-in-one tester that combines an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) at 1310/1550 nm on single-mode fiber with optical loss and power measurement. With the external fiberscope option, it also inspects optical fiber end faces. Anritsu positions it as the standard model for installation and maintenance (I&M) in general-purpose, premise, access and metro applications.

Optical pulse test (OTDR)

The OTDR measures fiber transmission loss and length and detects events such as breaks in fiber continuity. The Fiber Visualizer function shows splices, connectors, splitters and the fiber end as schematic icons, with distance, loss and reflectance Pass/Fail results. Two real-time sweep modes, high-speed and high S/N, help locate fiber bends while the waveform is monitored. For manual analysis, the instrument offers the rotary knob, dedicated hard keys and four-marker loss and reflectance analysis from earlier ACCESS Master models, together with an 8-inch touchscreen.

Optical power, loss and end-face inspection

A stabilized light source and an optical power meter are built in as standard and use the OTDR port. Optional dedicated power meter ports, a visual fault locator and the G0306C Video Inspection Probe add optical loss testing (OLTS), visual fiber break location and IEC 61300-3-35 end-face Pass/Fail evaluation.

Data management

Measurements can be saved in original formats (Telcordia .sor for OTDR, .vipi for VIP), as .csv files, as screen captures or as PDF reports. Data can be transferred by USB memory, USB cable, or by WLAN or Ethernet through USB adapters. The instrument can be controlled remotely through a web-browser GUI or remote commands.
