Viavi E8138C-65 OTDR EVO Module

Overview

The Viavi E8138C-65 is an OTDR EVO module for T-BERD/MTS-6000A and MTS-8000 field test platforms. This advanced module enables characterization of single-mode and multimode fibers anywhere on the link with up to 50 dB dynamic range and integrated light source and broadband power meter capabilities for comprehensive fiber analysis.

Key Features

• Up to 50 dB dynamic range for comprehensive fiber characterization
• Integrated CW light source and broadband power meter for single-mode wavelengths
• Single connector port supporting 1310, 1550, and in-service 1650 nm wavelengths
• PON-optimized for testing through 1x128 splitters
• Industry-leading dead zone performance with 0.5 m event dead zone
• FiberComplete™ version for automated bidirectional OTDR, IL, and ORL measurements
• Built-in encircled flux multimode source compliant with IEC 61280-1-4 and TIA-526-14-B standards

Benefits

• Complete fiber element characterization on links with elements 2 m apart
• Integrated tools reduce need for multiple instruments
• Instantaneous automatic traffic detection prevents live signal interference
• Smart Link Mapper (SLM) eliminates interpretation errors without sacrificing test time
• Reduced measurement uncertainty and improved repeatability

Applications

• PON (Passive Optical Network) commissioning and troubleshooting
• Single-mode and multimode fiber testing
• Fiber network commissioning and upgrades
• Live network troubleshooting with traffic detection
