VIAVI E81BBS2A Optical Broadband Source (BBS) Module for OneAdvisor 800
Optical broadband source module for the OneAdvisor 800 for CD, PMD and attenuation profile testing over 1260 to 1640 nm.
- Applicable fiber
- SMF 9/125 µm
- Interchangeable optical connectors
- FC, SC, DIN, ST, LC
Overview
The VIAVI E81BBS2A Optical Broadband Source (BBS) module is a plug-in module for the OneAdvisor 800 platform. It provides fiber characterization, including coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) applications, in a rugged, modular platform designed for field use.
Three test applications in one
The module acts as the source for chromatic dispersion (CD) measurements using the referenced phase shift method, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements using the fixed analyzer method, and attenuation profile (AP) measurements with an in-line isolator. These measurements are used to verify high-speed and full-band DWDM transmission. Technicians can select one of the three test functions directly from the user interface, so one module covers work that would otherwise need several instruments.
Field and component testing
The module works together with the VIAVI Optical Dispersion Measurement (ODM) module (8100 Series). Combined, they cover the 1260 to 1640 nm wavelength range with a dynamic range of up to 45 dB. The module has no moving parts and is shock-proof and vibration-proof. Its size and weight suit outside plant testing, and its PC interfaces and remote control capability support component testing. Combined with an OTDR, it forms an all-in-one remote solution.
