HellermannTyton adds broadband connectivity to North American product line
Optical Channel Monitor - Put Your Fibre Under the Microscope
HellermannTyton has introduced a full line of high-performance
ProLabs’ recently-launched EON-MP-2 solution set is a flexible multi-capability optical platform. Amongst its wide array of capabilities, is Optical Channel Monitoring (OCM). OCM allows for the remote monitoring of DWDM wavelengths on optical fibres. When it comes to monitoring fibre and ensuring maximum efficiency the fact is, site visits are not only expensive, but also time consuming. Prolabs’ EON-OMP-2 platform provides valuable insight into information that would normally only be gained by despatching an engineer to the affected site. Prolabs’ EON-OMP-2 integrate into standard management systems and each monitored wavelength in a fibre can be given its own alarm thresholds. For example, at remote sites with no personnel present, when a resource fails is it the resource
be mounted aerially, within a vault or pedestal, buried in the ground or attached to a building. Indoor enclosures serve as an entrance facility and assist in the distribution of data cables to the devices within the building or home network. “We want to be the first name our customers count on for residential and commercial connectivity,” said category manager – Data, David Rifkin. “The field-proven innovations developed for these enclosures ensure easy installation and servicing.”
or the infrastructure? With OCM the network monitoring team can come to a determination within a couple of minutes, reducing the time taken to troubleshoot network issues and can prevent engineers needing to travel to remote sites for maintenance purposes. Having the optical data is valuable both for owned networks and leased resources. OCM can be integrated into your management system and raise an alarm when the optical characteristics of a given channel change. The solution also lends itself well to provisioning teams. How many upgrades have to be rescheduled due to records not being 100% accurate? Prolabs’ EON-OMP-2 can prevent aborted upgrades by allowing the provisioning team full visibility of the used optical wavelengths before an engineer is despatched – saving both you and your customers’ time and money.
broadband connectivity products that serve any scale, from single Fiber- to-the-Home installations to large plant or city-wide deployments. They are immediately available exclusively through HellermannTyton authorized distributors. For data networks, HellermannTyton’s weatherproof

Anritsu’sMS9740B Optical Spectrum Analyser
LASERCOMPONENTS now offers a digital laser driver for driving andmonitoring selected FLEXPOINT laser modules. Themicrocontroller is connected to themodule via USB or RS-232. For example, important operational settings such as output power, trigger, pulsation, andmodulation can be programmed by the user according to his own requirements. Furthermore, parameters such as
Anritsu has launched its new Spectrum Analyser MS9740B, which has been developed for evaluating the output characteristics of optical active devices used by optical communications systems.
the operating time of the system, the temperature in the module, or the laser diode current can also be monitored via the controller. This information allows the user to draw conclusions, for example, about the aging process. Downtimes can then be significantly reduced by predictive maintenance. The microcontroller also guarantees stable output power and particularly good linearity between the control voltage and the analogue output power.
The MS9740B keeps the same measurement-sensitivity performance, functions, and size as the predecessor (MS9740A) while shortening measurement processing times by 50%. The MS9740B also improves production-line efficiency by optimising the optical receiver bandwidth settings, most commonly used by customers. Anritsu says this performance upgrade “slashes optical active device inspection times and increases mass production-line efficiency.”
