Overview
The Anritsu CMA5 Series is a family of compact, lightweight handheld instruments for optical loss and power measurement during optical fiber installation and maintenance. The series comprises optical light sources, optical power meters and an all-in-one optical loss tester, so service engineers can choose the model that matches the onsite application. Each unit is designed for simple operation with the minimum required set of functions and is built to withstand the conditions of fiber cable installation and maintenance work.
Light sources
The CMA5 light sources provide a stable laser source for point-to-point attenuation measurement. Two models are offered: the 5L83 for multimode fiber at 850 nm and 1300 nm, which covers datacom testing, and the 5L35 for single-mode fiber at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, which covers WDM testing. Both include modulation output at 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz for fiber identification and run from a single 9 V alkaline battery.
Power meters
The CMA5 power meters are handheld units for attenuation and power throughput measurements on point-to-point fiber optic links. They are calibrated at 850 and 1300 nm for datacom, 1310, 1550 and 1625 nm for WDM, and 1490 nm for FTTx testing. The standard 5P100 measures from -60 to +10 dBm, and the CATV model 5P100C measures from -50 to +23 dBm. A large LCD display, auto-zeroing, tone detection and no warm-up time help reduce measurement time. The meters are powered by a 9 V battery, with an optional AC adapter available.
