MT9100A

MT9100A enables simultaneous testing of up to four cores in a multicore optical fibre, supporting efficient and accurate evaluation from R&D and production to optical network building and operation.

Ideal for the verification of optical transmission characteristics during R&D, manufacturing, and field tests of multicore fibers (MCF)

Common

• Industry's first [*1] four-channel OTDR capable of measuring Inter-core crosstalk [*2] between optical transmission paths (cores) of a multicore fiber
• Capable of measuring up to four cores simultaneously and visualizing optical transmission characteristics of optical transmission loss and reflection, and inter-core crosstalk in the direction of distances

For R&D and field tests

• An automatic pass/fail judgment function helps identify points of failure in a multicore fiber and determine their causes.
• The battery-powered portable tester enables tests to be conducted even in an environment where it is difficult to secure a power supply.
• The evaluation can be completed just by testing one end of the cable. No operator or measuring instrument is required on the other end, reducing the on-site workload substantially.

For manufacturing

• The tester can evaluate optical transmission characteristics of multiple cores simultaneously in a single action without the need to switch the optical fiber connection. This increases work efficiency significantly compared to the conventional power-meter method.
• A pass/fail judgment threshold that is preset, taking crosstalk into account, allows a pass/fail judgment to be made automatically based on measurement results.

The industry's first OTDR designed for multicore fiber testing provides highly accurate and efficient measurement and analysis capabilities. It supports R&D and manufacturing of multicore fibers as well as every stage of network construction and operation. This innovative solution enables engineers to improve work quality and boost productivity by streamlining testing processes.
