The OTU-5000 Optical Test Unit combines optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) and optical-switch technology to provide continuous OTDR monitoring of multiple fibers anywhere in the network. A single OTU-5000 unit monitoring 72 fibers of 100km and more occupies only 1RU. The OTU-5000 works with the VIAVI ONMSi solution to help automate and improve the monitoring of your network performance.

Features

• Ensure continuously good service at construction, service activation and beyond

• Anticipate service disruptions by detecting fiber degradation before it affects service.

• Reduce MTTR by locating fiber optic faults in minutes instead of hours

• Reduce operational costs by eliminating multiple erroneous dispatches

• Protect investments by monitoring long-term fiber performance

• Reduce construction costs by accelerating test processes and empowering test staff

• Protect network integrity and security by detecting and locating fiber intrusion

• Fiber monitoring for service providers, utilities, and dark-fiber providers

• FTTx construction, provisioning, and maintenance tests

• Fiber-tapping detection for critical applications

• Infrastructure monitoring (manholes, cabinet, etc)

• Switch scalability up to 1080 ports

• Web-browser access

• Advanced fault location

• E-mail notifications

• Small size: 72 ports in 1RU
