PRODUCT FOCUS
Jonard Tools creates the only combined slit & ring tool
The patented MS-326 mid span slit & ring tool is designed to provide easy access into fibre optic cables within ducts or micro ducts. It is now possible to open thin wall jackets without damaging the buffer tubes inside, and even open the thin wall buffer tubes, all with this tool. The MS-326 has 5 precision grooves for slitting and 5 for ringing cables from 5mm- 10mm.
ProLabs’ OTDR and network services validation solutions keeps networks performing
ProLabs’ OTDR solution quickly locates any faults or issues within optical fibre networks by measuring the characteristics of the fibres. The solution transmits a series of optical pulses into the fibre under test and extracts, from the same end, light which is scattered or reflected back from points along the fibre. The scattered or reflected light is measured and then analysed to locate the end of the fibre, the location and overall loss. ProLabs’ EON-NSV-OTDR is a cost-effective device specifically designed to allow for not just OTDR testing of the underlying optical circuit, but also the Layer-2 and Layer-3 services that may be running over it. Operating with both Layer-2 and Layer-3 addressing, ProLabs’ EON-NSV-OTDR contains custom hardware for the generation of test traffic, loop-back
(by packet-level Source/Destination address swapping) and analysis, to industry-standard test profiles including RFC 2544, ITU-T Y.1564 and RFC-5357 (TWAMP) ProLabs’ EON-NSV-OTDR detects, optical faults and reflections; locates, stores and reports the number of faults and reflections detected; calculates distances to the faults and reports the distance to the furthest fault by default. Sense mode causes the Micro- OTDR to run – which can not only identify intermittent problems and issues waiting to happen, but intrusion attempts and other abnormal activities In addition to the OTDR capabilities, ProLabs’ EON-NSV-OTDR incorporates an embedded test packet generator and delay analyser which is accurate to micro-second resolution. The feature
set includes ITU-T Y.1564 and RFC2544 circuit/ service testing and validation capabilities; port and service-level loopbacks; in-service performance monitoring; delay and delay variation monitoring via ITU-T Y.1731 and TWAMP/TWAMP-lite (RFC-5357). In addition, statistics can be gathered on a per-port & per- service basis.
Tektronix DSA8300 Series lowers the cost of PAM4 validation and manufacturing
The Intel Silicon Photonics 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 Optical Transceiver product family is expanding! We are now sampling extended temperature products for 5G wireless applications. Features include a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C, dual rate 40G/100G CPRI and eCPRI, and a reach of up to 10km. Intel Silicon Photonics 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 Optical Transceiver with high temperature range
With intrinsic jitter of less than 100 femtoseconds for extremely accurate device characterisation, the DSA8300 Series provides comprehensive support for optical communications standards. New modules supporting dual channel 53GHz optical bandwidth, single-mode, 1200 nanometres to 1650 nanometres provides a complete high-speed PHY Layer testing platform for data communications from 155 Mbps to 400G PAM4.
