MILPITAS, Calif. and CHICAGO, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU
(Nasdaq: JDSU; TSX: JDU) today announced the latest generation of its
MTS/T- BERD optical tester line, the MTS-6000/T-BERD 6000. A compact and
lightweight test platform designed for the installation and maintenance of
fiber networks, the MTS/T-BERD 6000 weighs only 2.4kg/5.3 lbs. and offers
field service technicians the highest levels of performance and
upgradeability on the market. Modular in design, the MTS/T-BERD 6000 offers
an extensive portfolio of test functionality, with over 40 different fiber
modules supporting a wide range of applications, and is a single source for
future fiber and photonic testing needs. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 will be
introduced at GlobalComm 2006 in Chicago, June 4-8 (booth 67040).
The new product will be marketed as the T-BERD 6000 in North America
and the MTS-6000 throughout Europe, Asia and all other regions.
"The JDSU MTS/T-BERD 6000 combines the technology leadership of JDSU's
MTS/T-BERD 8000 Multiple Network Optical Test platform in an extremely
compact and lightweight tester" said Enzo di Luigi, general manager of
JDSU's fiber optics Test and Measurement group. "Compatibility with our
existing range of fiber test application modules range ensures that our
clients maximize their investment returns on our test solutions."
Highest Performance OTDR on Market
Performance highlights of the MTS/T-BERD 6000 include a Very Long Range
(VLR) optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) module, combining several
new features into one first-of-its-kind OTDR tester for FTTx, access, metro
and core network optical applications. Advanced test head design allows
this VLR module to provide an industry first in reducing deadzones to below
one meter and allowing higher precision and better fault-finding.
Also featured is JDSU's industry-leading ultra long-haul (UHD) module
that achieves the highest performance of any OTDR field instrument on the
market (up to 50dB at 1550nm). This module's superior performance enables a
test to be completed six times faster than with an existing 40dB OTDR,
offering impressive time savings for network installation and fault
isolation.
Highly Integrated Design Ensures Maximum Versatility
New high-speed delivery systems for triple play, 3G, Agile Optical
Networking (AON), and FTTx are changing the way fiber infrastructure
systems are installed and maintained. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 meets the cost
objectives of every single test function required while also leaving a
migration path to new test requirements.
The MTS/T-BERD 6000 is a highly integrated modular platform with a
large high-visibility color screen (with an optional touchscreen display),
a high- capacity lithium ion battery, an optional video fiber scope, and
built-in optical test functions such as a visual fault locator, power
meter, optical talkset and loss test set (LTS). Using an innovative
automatic bi-directional analysis function, the MTS/T-BERD 6000 can save up
to 50 percent test time for OTDR, insertion loss (IL), and optical return
loss (ORL) measurements.
The versatility of the MTS/T-BERD 6000 allows it to address additional
test applications such as polarization mode dispersion (PMD), chromatic
dispersion (CD), wavelength division multiplexing (C/DWDM), and spectral
attenuation measurements. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 also sets the standard as the
smallest dispersion tester (PMD or CD) available on the market today.
About the MTS/T-BERD Product Line
The MTS/T-BERD product line has built a solid worldwide reputation
based on cutting-edge design and performance. Compatibility with thousands
of field-proven units deployed worldwide by every major telecommunications
network operator enables easy migration to new network technologies while
continuing to reduce expenses. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 continues this standard
by offering a superior price/performance ratio and enhancing the value and
investment of the MTS-5000 and MTS/T-BERD 8000 platforms. Compatibility
with the industry-leading MTS/T-BERD 8000 and a common user interface, file
format, and results presentation makes deployment of the MTS/T-BERD 6000
extremely simple and efficient for a field services team already using
other MTS/T-BERD platforms.
