COHERENT OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER

SKU0010
DESCRIPTION

Coherent optical time domain reflectometer is an optical instrument designed for the following purposes:  
  • monitoring of distributed optical losses in the fiber-optic tract of the communication line with optical amplifiers;
  • registration of events in the fiber-optic tract of the communication line and determining their location with a given accuracy;
  • control of the performance of optical amplifiers in the fiber-optic tract of the communication line in terms of the level of optical amplification;
  • support for the simultaneous operation of two COTDR reflectometers at one optical communication line with its opposite ends through the use of various removable modules of optical sources;
  • transfer of information about the results of control to the control system by the Ethernet protocol.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Type of optical fiber: ITU-T G.652 / G.654
  • Length of the measured communication line: up to 20,000 km
  • Fixed wavelength of the main optical source: 1558.98 Nm / 1559.79 Nm / 1549.32 nm / 1551.72 nm / 1566.31 nm / 1567.13 Nm
  • Fixed wavelength of auxiliary optical source (Dummy): 1559.39 Nm / 1560.20 Nm / 1549.72 Nm / 1552.12 Nm / 1566.72 nm / 1566.72 nm
  • Duration of pulses: 3, 10, 30, 60, 100 μs
  • The accuracy of the distance measurement: ± 10 m ± 0.5 × 10-6 × line (m)

ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT

  • Domestic production, high accuracy of measurements, a high dynamic range (more than 35 dB)
  • The range is corresponding to he best foreign counterparts (the single analogue in the world is the coherent reflectometer Anritsu MW90010A)
  • Mounted as a rack unit, the implementation of optical switching between independent fiber lines is possible

APPLICATION AREAS
