The Anritsu ACCESS Master MT9085 series is a compact handheld all-in-one tester for performing optical pulse tests, optical loss/power measurements, and optical fibre end-face inspections. It has a wide variety of applications, ranging from installation and maintenance (I&M) of trunk fibres (Core, Metro, Mobile Fronthaul, Mobile Backhaul) to troubleshooting Access networks, such as breaks in drop cables.
Optical Pulse Test (OTDR)
The optical pulse test measures the optical fibre transmission loss and fibre length as well as detects events, such as breaks in the fibre continuity. Both single mode and multimode fibres are supported, and the product line includes support for various wavelengths matching the measurement environment. The easy-to-use Fibre Visualiser function uses two types of realtime sweep (high-speed, high S/N) to check the status of fibre connections and bends while monitoring the waveform; events on the fibre are detected with high accuracy (46 dB dynamic range max., 0.8 m dead zone) and loss is measured. The excellent waveform quality supports short to long distance optical measurements, including PON and realtime measurement.
Optical Power/Loss Measurement
With a built-in light source and power and loss measurement functions, the all-in-one MT9085 series is ideal for confirming the status of optical fiber installations and fault conditions.
Optical Fibre End-Face Inspection
Optical fibre end-face inspection uses an external fiberscope option (sold separately) to display the condition of the optical connector ferrule end face on the screen of the MT9085 main unit. Optical fibre end-face inspection is important because not only do dirt and scratches on the ferrule face have a major impact on optical fibre circuit transmission quality, but they also prevent accurate optical pulse tests and measurement of optical loss and power.
