Anritsu MT9083A2/B2/C2 ACCESS Master OTDR

All-in-one test solution for efficient FTTx, CATV, LAN, Access and Metro Network construction and maintenance work.

The Anritsu MT9083 delivers full featured OTDR performance. With Optical Power Meter, and Visible Light Source built in, the MT9083 delivers a complete loss test set, QoS evaluation, and FTTx troubleshooting in a surprisingly small and lightweight package.

Measuring 28.4 cm wide, 20 cm tall, 7.7 cm deep, and weighing 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs.), the MT9083 is field ready with solid casework (no fans or vents), ruggedised bumpers, display cover and shoulder strap.

New Fiber Visualizer feature — easy graphical summary and PDF reporting

Anritsu MT9083 - OTDR Fiber Visualizer Demonstration (4:50)

“Fiber Visualizer” is a new fault location function designed to simplify the entire testing process, similar to the IOLM function from Exfo and the JDSU Smart Link Mapper function. Anritsu's Fiber Visualizer automatically selects the testing parameters to ensure the correct setup and provides a simple graphical summary of the fiber under test within seconds. A comprehensive PDF report can then be customised and generated, completing the testing process. (Continued…)

Extended Features

• Video Inspection Probe Support
  • When equipped with the optional connector video inspection probe (VIP), the MT9083 becomes a powerful tool for evaluating connector cleanliness and quality. Connector end faces can be safely viewed and images stored to document all aspects of your network.
  • The new Pass/Fail analysis function inspects the state of the connector end using video. It can automatically inspect the end of the optical connector for defects and scratches (The automatic pass/fail determination is made in accordance with the IEC61300-3-35 standard.) You can also create a PDF report on the MT9083 series.
• No Experience Required
  • With the ACCESS Master, the experience is built in. With specialized testing modes, automatic parameter selection, PASS/FAIL indicators as well as features to virtually eliminate the chance to get “bad” results, the MT9083 can make anyone seems like a 20 year veteran.
• Easy “drag and drop” File Transfers
  • When the MT9083 is connected to a PC via a USB cable, the internal memory of the ACCESS Master can be directly accessed. Data can be selected, dragged and dropped into the PC memory, greatly simplifying file transfers. The MT9083 also supports use of USB memory sticks.
• Common OTDR Data Format
  • The MT9083 supports the universal Telcordia SR-4731 (issue 2) format making it compatible with not only legacy Anritsu and NetTest products, but with many other vendors data.
• Free and Simple Software Upgrades
  • Firmware upgrades are easily performed via USB and available from the Anritsu website for registered users or through Anritsu customer support.
• Active Fiber Check
  • Prevents OTDR measurement when the optical fiber is in-service — avoid risk damage to the transmitter and OTDR receiver. The MT9083 verifies if light is present before starting measurement and will not transmit if it is. An on-screen warning and internal OTDR protection are also part of this useful feature.
• Integrated Macrobend Detection
  • With many technicians making the switch from copper installations to optical fiber, installation issues such as macrobends are bound to occur. To help prevent this, Anritsu has developed a macrobend detection feature for the MT9083 that will alert technicians when a possible macrobend is present. This provides a higher quality of service for the customer and eliminates costly troubleshooting for you.
• Standard Stabilised Light Source
  • The OTDR port also functions as a stabilised light source providing continuous wave, 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz modulations for easy fiber identification.
• Standard or Optional Integrated Power Meter
  • The OTDR port also functions as an integrated power meter for verification of optical power levels. Additional power meter options are available for higher power transmissions and loop-back testing.
• Visual Laser Source for Easy Fault Location and Fiber Identification
  • A Visible Light Source is useful for tracking down bad connections, splices and fiber management issues such as macrobends.
• Extended Range Testing of 200 + km Fibers
  • The MT9083 also features up to 46 dB of dynamic range allowing it to easily test 200 + km spans making it a very useful tool for any network type.
• Improved Short Fiber Analysis
  • An event dead zone of less than 1 m (80 cm typical) and a sampling resolution of 5 cm allow the MT9083 to evaluate connections and troubleshoot central office, FTTx and intra-building faults.
• Up to 150,001 Data Points for Increased Accuracy
  • The MT9083 series also collects up to 150,001 with a resolution of 2 m. This provides the necessary detail when installing and maintaining fiber spans.
• Dual-mode High Resolution/Enhanced Range Operation
  • While many OTDRs provide good deadzone resolution or high dynamic range, the MT9083 series features a dual-mode design that allows a single unit to excel in both categories. The user can simply select HIGH RESOLUTION (HR) mode or ENHANCED RANGE (ER) based on the current task at hand. When HR mode is selected, this mode provides good measurement range with an industry leading deadzone (<1 m). When ER mode is selected a 100 km fiber to be tested in less than 10 seconds. ER mode is also used for testing PON networks with up to 128 branches.
• Waveform Comparison Function
  • Compare current and stored trace data to easily assess changes over time and to locate problems before they affect service or compare traces at different wavelengths to identify installation issues such as macrobending.
• Event Table with User Defined Thresholds
  • PASS/FAIL thresholds for key acceptance criteria such as splice loss, connector loss and reflectance can be set in the MT9083 allowing technicians to easily assess the condition of a fiber. Failing values are clearly highlighted in the event table alerting technicians of potential problems.
• Remote GUI Function
  • The MT9083 can be operated PC via LAN (Ethernet network) without any additional software installed. A PC is shown OTDR screen and can operate them using a mouse on PC. You can operate far end MT9083 easily.
• Password Protection Feature
  • A password protection feature has been added to the MT9083. When you use this feature, users will be required to enter a password as soon as the system boots. Users will not be able to use the system until the password is authenticated.
  • This feature is useful if you want to limit the use of your measuring instruments to designated users, or you want to protect important files on the system’s on-internal memory.
