The OTU-8000 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. The OTU-8000 platform is fully modular allowing for the use of many wavelengths and dynamic ranges in order to optimize fiber monitoring for a changing network.

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

• Proactively protect infrastructure with the DTS and DTSS modules to detect strain and temperature changes that indicate risks to infrastructure items such as pipelines.

• Switch scalability up to 1080 ports

• Web-browser access

• Advanced fault location

• E-mail and SMS notifications

• Scalable and modular in up to 2RU
