Network Master μOTDR MU909014A1 1625/1650 nm OTDR Module

Single-wavelength 1625 nm or 1650 nm μOTDR module for the MT9090A Network Master, aimed at in-service PON maintenance, with an integrated visible laser.

Center wavelength: 1625 ± 15 nm
Center wavelength: 1650 ± 15 nm
Dynamic range (PW = 20 μsec): 32.5 dB
Dynamic range (PW = 500 nsec): 24.5 dB

Overview

The Anritsu MU909014A1 is a μOTDR module for the Network Master MT9090A handheld mainframe. Together they form a palm-size OTDR measuring 190 x 96 x 48 mm and weighing less than 700 g with the standard battery. The design is sealed, with no vents or fans, and the mainframe has a 4.3-inch colour display.

The MU909014A1 is a single-wavelength maintenance model. It comes in a 1625 nm version (-053 UPC / -063 APC) and a 1650 nm version (-054 UPC / -064 APC). These out-of-band wavelengths allow in-service testing of live PON networks without external filters. The module has a dynamic range of 32.5 dB at a 20 μs pulse width and a sampling resolution of 5 cm. This lets it test PON-based FTTx networks with splits of up to 1 x 64.

Operation

A built-in 10 m launch fiber measures the front-end connector without an external patch cord, and it can be turned on or off. The instrument checks the connection automatically before each test. It also detects live fiber and offers a real-time sweep mode. The Fiber Visualizer mode sets test parameters automatically, shows a graphical summary of the fiber under test and creates a PDF report. Event analysis is presented in a table with user-defined pass/fail thresholds.

Additional functions and connectivity

The MU909014A1 includes a 650 nm visible laser diode for visual fault location and fiber identification. Traces are saved in Telcordia .SOR format to internal memory or USB storage. The MT9090A platform supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Ethernet for file sharing and remote GUI control. It runs on a NiMH battery pack or on AA batteries.
