Présentation
Plateforme

The mTFX is a modular Ethernet or GPIB instrument and can be directly managed from your PC-based automation system. It eliminates the need to re-purpose optical network technology or use complex libraries with specialized interface cards.

Based on next-generation liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) technology, the mTFX is much more than a tunable filter. It combines variable attenuator, switch, power meter, and DWDM multiplexer functions to dramatically simplify photonic testing of coherent interfaces, amplifier, and DWDM systems. Leveraging TrueFlex™ technology, filters are continuously tunable in center wavelength and bandwidth and are not locked to the ITU grid. Multiple parallel wavelength paths can be created without disrupting already established connections—all with sub-GHz resolution. Industry-leading specifications for loss and out-of-band rejection ensure minimal impairments on your test signals.

Using the mTFX, get the right wavelengths to the right test port with the right power—quickly – and flexibly isolate, groom, manage, and route any wavelength or group of wavelengths with a simple, intuitive GUI and/or SCPI-based remote commands.

Highlights

Tunable filter with bandwidth adjustment from 16 to 5100 GHz with 0.5 GHz resolution
Low loss (<5.5 dB), continuous extended C-band coverage with ±3.5 GHz wavelength accuracy
Up to 120 (for L-band) and 180 (for C-band) independent filters, each with independent attenuation and output port assignment
New filters can be added and removed without disturbing existing connections
Internal power meter option with automated single and multiple peak find algorithms
Automated peak tracking function without loss of transmitted power
Fast, simple GUI and SCPI control interfaces for filter generation
Optional SW license to enable up to 8 output ports
C-band offered in a single slot cassette and L-band in a dual slot

Applications

Photonic communication test automation
100 G+ coherent interface testing
ROADM node emulation
Signal extraction or insertion during DWDM system testing
Amplifier gain spectrum management and load tone generation
OSNR measurements

Prise en charge du remplacement des batteries/sacoches
Les batteries et les sacoches sont endommagées par leur usage quotidien et par les cycles de chargement. Pour veiller à ce que ces articles ne vous ralentissent pas, nos programmes sur cinq ans comprennent un remplacement pouvant être effectué pendant toute la durée du programme (5 ans).

VIAVI assure le remplacement unique d'une batterie en mauvais état et d'un(e) sacoche/étui usé(e) pendant la durée des programmes d'assistance SilverCare ou MaxCare de cinq ans. Le remplacement n'aura lieu qu'une fois l'instrument renvoyé à VIAVI pour un service de réparation ou de calibrage. Les étuis rigides sont exclus et cette couverture ne s'applique pas aux instruments vendus sans sacoche ou sans batterie.

Cette prise en charge est comprise dans les programmes Silver et MaxCare de cinq ans

Technical Assistance
The VIAVI Technical Support team can assist you in using/configuring products or address issues regarding product performance.

Visit our Technical Assistance section for more information.

Prise en charge du remplacement d'accessoires, programme MaxCare
Certains instruments sont livrés avec des câbles accessoires et des embouts de connecteurs. Pour garantir des tests fiables et précis, nous prenons en charge le remplacement d'un accessoire par an pour garantir des résultats de test valides et corrects.

Lorsqu'un accessoire est jugé défectueux, VIAVI s'engage à le réparer ou à l'échanger (à la seule discrétion de VIAVI) sans frais. Les accessoires échangés peuvent être des produits neufs ou remis à neuf. Tous les accessoires renvoyés deviennent la propriété de VIAVI. Les limites suivantes s'appliquent : un total d'un accessoire pourra être échangé par période de 12 mois ; les accessoires pris en charge sont ceux considérés comme essentiels au fonctionnement de l'instrument et ayant été livrés avec le produit d'origine lors de l'achat. Le client est responsable du renvoi de l'accessoire défectueux à VIAVI en cas de problème ou à l'occasion d'un calibrage ou d'une réparation.

Prêt express
Désormais, vous pouvez planifier vos Vérifications et vos réparations sans avoir à craindre d'interruptions. Le service de prêt express met à votre disposition un équipement de configuration similaire avant même l'envoi du vôtre en Vérification ou en réparation urgente non planifiée.

Type de produit	Programme recommandé	BronzeCare	SilverCare	MaxCare	À quoi sert le calibrage ?

MAP (Mainframe/Module)	Silver-5				Pourquoi calibrer ce produit ? Quels sont les problèmes les plus courants ? Factory standards to ensure accuracy MAP Why calibrate this product? It is essential in manufacturing environment to ensure your product meets the published/customer requirements. Having accurate measurements ensures highest possible yields whilst maintaining product specifications. Ensuring all that the optical test equipment is performing as designed and calibrated is requirement in achieving that goal. Viavi will validate measurement accuracies conform to published specifications. Maintain connectors and pigtails. Factory standards to ensure accuracy VIAVI is a TL9000 company and calibrates this instrument based on general requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) to ensure your instrument is certified to measure accurately. Instruments that are out of calibration will produce unreliable measurements and can create false passing or false failing test results that often cause your team repeat work. We maintain, polish and clean all fiber connectors, fix pigtail connections that are internal to the product to ensure all parts stay in good working order and upgrade software / firmware to the latest approved release to enable enhancements. VIAVI Care Plans are the most cost-effective way to plan for calibration with a low, discounted price at the time of instrument purchase. Fixed rate calibration can also be purchased later via a separate purchase order. Ensure accurate measurements that meet design expectations and optical budgets. Maintain ports and connectors to keep signals working properly and to extend the life of the instrument. For example, if optical connectors or lasers are bad or interface ports are loose then after repeated connection cycles, optical measurements may be inaccurate or damage may occur. When manufacturing optical network products, accurate, reliable and repeatable optical measurement performance is essential to compliance with published/committed product specifications Know that optical product design, product manufacturing and customer expectations are accurate and in alignment throughout product lifecycle Most business common implications MAP How will my measurements be affected if the product is out of calibration? Inaccurate measurements may prevent verification of power levels or introduce other measurement uncertainties, errors and artifacts. Out-of-calibration instruments can result in design errors, production problems, end customer escalations, increased failure rates, audit non-compliance or even ultimately loss of business. What are the most common implications of these issues to the business? Uncalibrated tools produce unreliable measurement results that can't be certified to specifications and may violate product agreements or ISO/TL9000 standards with your customers and their network equipment vendors. Design errors resulting from inaccurate measurements can result in ongoing issues throughout the product lifecycle including poor yields, inaccurate optical budgets, increased return rates and customer expectation mismatch. Production costs can be elevated by increased re-work, reduced yield and inconsistencies between measurements. Common Business impacts include: Lost revenue, customer complaints and increased costs. Quality audit failures. For end customers, repeat product quality issues with vendors often cause added cost, customer dissatisfaction and loss of business.
