Description
Compact OTDR-based remote test unit designed for FTTx PON deployments, fiber-optic network monitoring and troubleshooting.
INTEGRATED OTDR AND OPTICAL SWITCH
Part of EXFO’s solution for remote fiber testing and monitoring (RFTM), the OTH-7000 is the smallest footprint (½ U rackmount space) optical test head with an embedded OTDR and optical switch.
OTH-7000 is remotely controlled via EXFO’s central fiber monitoring system (FMS) for fiber certification and monitoring through patented OTDR/iOLM technology or can be directly integrated to your systems as a client API OTDR.
In-service testing and monitoring of P2P and PONs is possible thanks to a filtered OTDR port at 1650 nm coupled with a compact test access module coupler (up to 64 ports per ½ U rackmount space). PON end-to-end fiber attenuation at 1650 nm is measured with a traceable test method using a high-reflectance demarcation filter.
OTH-7000 is available with a choice of 1, 4, 16, 32 or 64 ports. Optical link management can be scaled up to hundreds of ports with compact external optical switches (local or remote, up to 256 ports per ½ U rackmount space). With its MEMS-based design optical switch, the OTH-7000 delivers durable performance in a compact package. Fast switching time and a 1-billion cycle lifetime expectancy make it ideal for the demanding needs of production testing, monitoring applications or PON certification.
OTH-7000 family is expanding with the UBRD model designed for PON applications. Thanks to its narrower laser and filtering, the UBRD model is also optimal on P2P live networks when the upper L Band is used by traffic or supervisory.
Features:
- Smallest footprint in the industry (up to 64 ports in ½ RU) with front-only connectivity
- Scalable to hundreds of ports though external switches (local or distributed)
- Cost-effective development
- Optical transceiver module SFP port
- Dark and in-service fiber monitoring
- P2P fault on map (optional GIS)
- Dual power feeds with low power consumption
- On-demand tests available anytime, anywhere through mobile app for on-site repair confirmations
- Configurable as client API hardware for direct integration to network management system (NMS) or controlled over EXFO FMS
