Overview

The ACCESS Master MT9085B-056 is the 1310/1490/1550 nm single-mode configuration of the Enhanced (B) model in Anritsu's MT9085 series. The series is a compact handheld all-in-one tester for optical pulse tests (OTDR), optical loss and power measurements, and optical fiber end-face inspection. Anritsu positions the -056 as the model for installation and maintenance of FTTx/PON networks.

The instrument has an 8-inch color LCD touchscreen. It also keeps the hard keys and rotary knob of earlier ACCESS Master models for manual trace analysis. The Fiber Visualizer function shows events such as splices, connectors, PON splitters and the fiber end as schematic icons, with Pass/Fail evaluation of loss and reflectance. PON network measurements are supported for up to 1 × 128 branches, with preset splitter information and thresholds.

Measurement functions

Two realtime sweep modes are provided: high-speed for locating fiber bends and high S/N for easier loss measurement. Other functions include multi-fiber Installation Test, bi-directional analysis, live-fiber detection (Optical Communications Check), connection check, Cable Certification Test to IEC/ISO standards, and Scenario Manager Lite for automated test sequences. A stabilized light source and an optical power meter are built in through the OTDR port. A dedicated-port power meter, a visual fault locator and the external G0306C Video Inspection Probe are options.

Data handling

Measurements are saved in their original formats (.sor for OTDR, .vipi for VIP), as .csv, as screen captures or as PDF reports. Files can be transferred over USB memory, USB cable, Ethernet (USB-Ethernet adapter) or WLAN (USB dongle). The instrument can be controlled remotely through a web browser GUI or remote commands. On a PC, OTDR traces are analyzed with NETWORKS software and VIP data with Connector Master MX900030A.
