PRODUCT FOCUS
The all-in-one Network Master Flex MT1100A supports all the latest communications technologies. Selecting and installing up to two modules from three options allows the MT1100A to conduct comprehensive R&D, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance tests of network and transport equipment, operating at bit rates from 1.5 Mbps to 100 Gbps. The MT1100A supports R&D of the latest OTN 400 Gbps technologies using client signals, including Ethernet, CPRI, Fibre Channel, SDH/SONET and PDH/Dsn. It can perform mapped OTN client-signal tests under near-to-live conditions for faster troubleshooting. While OTN carries client signals, all other current OTN transport testers only support OTN testing at the OTN line rate with Anritsu redefine transport testing with Network Master Flex MT1100A
and operating expenses can be lowered. The MT1100A supports a maximum of four 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps ports, each of which can be used independently or simultaneously for network and network-equipment tests. It is the first portable transport tester that supports simultaneous installation of four independent 100 Gbps ports, which is critical for today’s high-speed netwo Anritsu will be exhibiting at OFC. Stand number 2819.
bulk test signals. This means that problems in the carried client signals are invisible when testing an in-service OTN system. The Network Master Flex MT1100A changes all of that, as technicians can now test OTN lines at the client signal level with signals such as Ethernet, CPRI, Fibre Channel and SDH/ SONET. The MT1100A can also test OTN lines at the line rate with bulk signals. The result is that OTN issues can be solved more efficiently, network downtime can be reduced

Peacoc, Go!Foton’s ‘Platform with Enhanced Access for Compact Optical Connectors’, is a revolutionary technology platform that promises to elevate the way data centre and telecom operators are able to manage the increasingly complex world of optical connectivity. The Peacoc’s fibre patch panel is the industry’s first solution to allow tool-less access for up to 288 simplex LC connectors in just 1RU of Rackspace and the first high density solution to provide easy access to both the front-plane and back-plane connector at the same time, from the same side of the rack. Each individual optical connection can be easily isolated from adjacent ports creating a generous region of unobstructed handling space for safe, fast, and error free management of optical fibre jumpers. The product is Telcordia NEBS and Gr-449 certified. Go!Foton is exhibiting at OFC 2017. Stand number 3300. density fibre patch panel
CODIXX AG will showcase the colorPol, a high contrast ratio and high polariser providing low intrinsic losses and high transmission at spectral ranges of 1.250 – 2.500 nm, transmittance of over 98 % (with anti-reflection coating) and a contrast ratio greater than 10,000:1 (> 40 dB). The insertion loss undercuts 0.1 dB. Special polarisers like the colorPol IR 1310 BC4 HT, colorPol IR 1490 BC4 HT and colorPol IR 1550 BC4 HT match the important wavelength ranges in optical isolators. Reflection losses can be minimized by an antireflection coating. AR-coatings are available as V-coatings or wide-band
versions for individual wavelengths and all colorPol polarisers are made by glass which entail unique properties, like easy handling, as thin as foil polarisers, resistance to UV radiation and most chemicals, wide acceptance angles for incident radiation and considerable operating-temperature ranges of -50 °C to 400 °C. Thicknesses from 0.2 to 2.0 mm can also be implemented as other spectral ranges, transmission characteristics and contrast ratios. colorPol polarisers are produced to customer specifications in various shapes and dimensions, from 1 x 1 mm² up to a maximum size of 100 x 60 mm². CODIXX is exhibiting at OFC. Stand number 3418.
