OTU-5000

Optical Test Unit

Automate optical network monitoring with the most compact rack mounted, remote OTDR test unit on the market

The OTU-5000 Optical Test Unit combines optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) and optical-switch technology to provide continuous OTDR monitoring of multiple fibers anywhere in the network. A single OTU-5000 unit, monitoring 72 fibers of 100 km and more, occupies only 1 RU.

Features:

• Switch scalability up to 1080 ports
• Web-browser access
• E-mail notifications
• Small size: 72 ports in 1 RU
• Dual power feeds
• Solid-state disk
• Low power consumption
• LAN-based firmware downloads

Benefits:

• Ensure continuously good service at construction, service activation and beyond
• Anticipate service disruptions by detecting fiber degradation before it affects service.
• Reduce MTTR by locating fiber optic faults in minutes instead of hours
• Reduce operational costs by eliminating multiple erroneous dispatches
• Protect investments by monitoring longterm fiber performance
• Reduce construction costs by accelerating test processes and empowering test staff
• Protect network integrity and security by detecting and locating fiber intrusion
  

Applications:

• Fiber monitoring for service providers, data centers, utilities, and dark-fiber providers
• FTTx construction, provisioning, and maintenance tests
• Fiber-tapping detection for critical applications
• Infrastructure monitoring (manholes, cabinets, etc)
