In optical data transmission, even small dropouts can have serious consequences. The OP1100 discontinuity analyzer from OptoTest detects signal fluctuations of 0.5 dB and a duration of 0.8 µs. The result is recorded in a fast data logger so that the course can be precisely analyzed. The responsible persons can then draw conclusions about the cause.
The OP1100 can monitor up to twenty-four fibers simultaneously and is equally suitable for single-mode and multimode fibers.
In test mode, passive and active network components can be checked for various irregularities caused by temperature fluctuations, vibrations, or other shocks (e.g., signal failures or temporary fluctuations in the output or transit signal). However, the discontinuity analyzer is also suitable for round-the-clock monitoring of fiber optic networks.
