Datasheet

Overview

The ACCESS Master MT9085C-053 is the High Performance 1310/1550 nm single-mode module option of the Anritsu MT9085 series, a compact handheld all-in-one tester for optical pulse (OTDR) tests, optical loss and power measurements, and optical fiber end-face inspection. Anritsu positions the MT9085C models for long-haul and ultra-long-haul applications, and the -053 option as the standard model for installation and maintenance (I&M).

OTDR measurement

The OTDR measures fiber transmission loss and length and detects events such as splices, connectors, splitters and breaks. The Fiber Visualizer function displays events as schematic icons with distance, loss and reflectance Pass/Fail results. Two realtime sweep modes (high-speed and high S/N) help locate fiber bends, and multi-pulse measurement supports event detection with up to 46 dB dynamic range and a 0.8 m event dead zone. PON splitter analysis covers up to 1 × 128 branches.

Operation

The unit combines an 8-inch color LCD touchscreen with a rotary knob and dedicated hard keys from earlier ACCESS Master models. The pressure-sensitive touchscreen accepts input while wearing work gloves. Manual analysis uses two-point or LSA methods with four markers.

Loss, power and end-face inspection

A stabilized light source and a power meter are built in through the OTDR port; optional dedicated power meter ports enable optical loss test set (OLTS) measurements with one tester. An optional visual fault locator and the external G0306C Video Inspection Probe support break location and IEC61300-3-35 end-face Pass/Fail evaluation. Data can be saved as .sor, .csv or PDF reports and transferred via USB, WLAN or Ethernet adapters.
