The T-BERD 8000 is a field-scalable optical test platform for both installation and maintenance. Based on the rich T-BERD heritage, the T-BERD 8000 is the industry's most innovative and cost-effective test solution for metro networks. A single Transport Module provides an integrated solution for Ethernet, SONET, SDH, PDH, and T-carrier networks. Optical Modules allow thorough testing of short-haul, long-haul, FTTx, CWDM, DWDM and ROADM networks.

Highlights

• Practically unlimited field modularity means that you can match any requirement for test function, size, weight, or price.
• Compact design starting at 7.6 lb (3.4 kg) exceeds Telcordia requirements for durability and transport.
• Multiple test functions are available directly on the base unit to improve productivity and free application module space.
• Connector check functions with power meter, VFL, and video microscope options are available.
• Existing MTS-5000 optical modules are compatible with the T-BERD 8000.

Applications

• OTDR and power level testing.
• 10GigE LAN and 1 GigE optical interfaces.
• 10/100/1000 Mb/s electrical Ethernet interfaces.
• SONET/SDH testing at 51 Mb/s, 155 Mb/s, 622 Mb/s, 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s.
• T-carrier/PDH testing at T1, E1, E3, DS3 and E4 rates.
• CWDM/DWDM and ROADM testing, channel isolator up to 12.5Gbps .
• PMD and spectral attenuation profile.
• Loss (IL) and Optical Return Loss (ORL) testing.
• Chromatic Dispersion (CD) testing.
• Optical Spectrum Analyzers for WDM and ROADM testing.

Key Features

• Configure with numerous application modules and a variety of storage media, including USB memory stick, and read/write CD-ROM.
• All application modules are field-installable so that existing MTS-5000 users can simply field install the optical plug-in by adding an extender.
• A Large color transreflective display is offered as standard for improved visibility for use in direct sunlight. A touchscreen option is available.
• Extended battery life with up to 2 Lithium ion cells.
• Base unit can house Visual Fault Locator (635 nm), Power Meter (800 to 1650 nm), and Optical Talkset (45 dB) options.
• Optical Talkset allows both communication and file transfer.
• Comprehensive suite of PC software tools for post-processing of test results via FiberTrace (OFS-100) and FiberCable (OFS-200).
