    • We invite you to experience the updates by watching our promotional video
      • Also available in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese languages

• Bi-directional fiber certification for T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2 and -4000 V2
  • Enhanced TestPRO/FiberComplete capabilities for 4100B OTDR module
    • Industries fastest two wavelength bi-directional IL/ORL & length measurement plus instant continuity check reduces test time (3.5s typical on simplex fiber)
    • High speed instrument-to-instrument communication via test port and fiber under test
      • No additional communications media required (WiFi connection, Smartphone tethering, USB, etc.)
      • Eliminate test configuration errors and reduce instrument setup time
      • Remove unnecessary file transfer, automatically retrieve results from remote/far-end
      • Improve near-end/far-end tech process workflow and cut down on SMS/phone calls, send pre-defined messages
    • Remove time, complexity and cost when certifying MPO cables, automatic sequence of 12 x FiberComplete (IL, ORL & OTDR) measurements with management of a MPO switch module including auto-detection of cable polarity type
  • SW option to add FiberComplete capabilities to 4100B OTDR module
    • Evolve test requirements with your needs, deploy automated bi-directional IL/ORL and OTDR testing to units in the field

• Support for new xWDM test modules for T-BERD/MTS-2000 V2, -4000 V2, -5800, -5800-100G, OneAdvisor-800
  • Nano OSA^TM Modules
    • The first truly field ready Optical Channel Verifier (OCV) and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) modules specifically developed to enable fast and reliable xWDM deployment in access networks. Delivering all the key features and capabilities needed they can grow/expand as your test requirements demand to enable fast and efficient deployment of any new high-speed C/D/M/LWDM services for Wireless 4G and 5G, CATV/MSO DAA and R-PHY, plus next gen WDM PON networks.
      • Smallest and toughest field OSA on the market
      • Turn-up and verify any new or legacy xWDM service, full band & high resolution
      • A single field solution combines OSA with Ethernet/BERT, OTDR or Wireless RF test
      • Pluggable transceiver tuning and verification with integrated SFP/SFP+ bay
