Overview
Key Features

VIAVI 4100-Series OTDR modules enable field technicians to rapidly, reliably, and cost-effectively install, turn up, and troubleshoot any optical network architecture – The optical performances of the 4100-Series OTDR modules combined with the complete suite of T-BERD/MTS, CellAdvisor 5G or OneAdvisor 800 platforms testing features ensure that any testing job is done right the first time.

Benefits

Familiar touch gesture control user interface with assistant apps to guide techs through instrument usage
Module portability allows migration of fiber test capabilities between different VIAVI platforms
Wide range of module performance to match any network applications with fast, error free testing
Consolidated reporting for all wavelengths tested reduces volume of test results to manage by 50%
Avoids the risk of live signal interference or damage to the optical transmitter when performing OTDR test with instantaneous automatic traffic detection

Applications

Construction, commissioning and troubleshooting of Metro and Long-Haul networks
Tier-2 certification and maintenance of Enterprise and Data Center networks
High fiber count/ribbon cables with automated MPO switching
Characterization and troubleshooting of FTTA fiber cables (macro cell towers, wireless backhauls, distributed antenna systems and cloud radio access)
Certifcation and troubleshooting of FTTH-PON networks (fiber distribution and drop cables verification and test through splitters) with support for un-balanced splitter architectures

Key Features

Ease of use for minimal learning time

The UI is optimized for a simple user experience and workflow to enable direct access to the main test setup or config menus with instant access to key features and results.
Fast and responsive it puts control at your fingertips, the touch, drag, pinch zoom, swipe, long press gestures allowing for greater instrument control and results manipulation

Take the headache out of trace analysis

SmartLink Mapper (SLM) analyzes and identifies passive optical elements within any OTDR trace, new or old, and represents them as simple icons which form a fiber link map
Easy toggle between SmartLink , Trace and event table views with direct correlation of a selected event

OTDR made easy, no setup, guided and repeatable test

SmartTEST is the OTDR assistant that eliminates all complex OTDR setup errors and guides a user through easy and clear operational steps.
Four simple steps guide techs through initial setup, testing, result review and reporting

Certify and troubleshooting with single test port and 3 Wavelengths

A single test port for 3 wavelength test to shoot further and improve bend detection
Seamless switching between construction and troubleshooting tasks for standard and in-service filtered 1625 or 1650nm testing
Certify fibers are ready for future requirements for C-band and L-Band (xWDM) operation
Consolidated reporting for all wavelengths cuts volume of test results in half

Streamline job allocation, test process compliance and data upload/audit for remote workforce

Test Process Automataion (TPA) allows your team to deliver expert-level test results and close projects on the first try, every time. TPA is a closed loop test system that optimizes workflows, eliminates manual, error prone work and automates immediate data reporting for job close out, team progress updates and network health analytics. Execute jobs efficiently to ensure high quality network builds, rapid turn-up/activation and enhanced operational visibility.
