Overview

The ACCESS Master MT9085A-063 is the hybrid single mode/multimode model of the Anritsu MT9085 series standard dynamic range line. It is a compact handheld all-in-one tester for optical pulse tests (OTDR), optical loss and power measurements, and optical fiber end-face inspection, and is intended for installation and maintenance (I&M) of both SMF and MMF links.

The OTDR port supports 1310/1550 nm on single mode fiber and 850/1300 nm on multimode fiber. The Fiber Visualizer function displays fiber events such as splices, connectors and splitters as schematic icons with loss and reflectance Pass/Fail evaluation, while manual analysis remains available through the rotary knob, dedicated hard keys and four-marker operation. Two realtime sweep modes (high-speed and high S/N) help locate fiber bends and check connections while monitoring the waveform.

A stabilized light source and an optical power meter are built in through the OTDR port as standard. Optional power meter ports, a visual fault locator and an external Video Inspection Probe (G0306C) extend the unit to optical loss testing, visual fault location and IEC61300-3-35 end-face inspection.

The instrument has an 8-inch color LCD touchscreen that can be operated with work gloves, 1 GB of internal memory for up to 50,000 traces, Telcordia SR-4731 trace format support, and data transfer via USB memory, USB cable, WLAN (USB adapter) or Ethernet (USB-Ethernet converter). The unit weighs 1.9 kg including battery and provides 12 hours of battery operation.
