With more than 40 available modules, the wide range of JDSU optical modules covers all possible needs for fiber optic measurements in the field via reflectometry.
Modules for former platforms such as the JDSU MTS-5X00 are being restored to their former glory as they are almost all compatible and via a motherboard adapter, can be easily inserted into the new platforms. It is time to order an upgrade!
Below is a non-exhaustive summary of the main OTDR modules available today for the T-BERD/MTS-6000 / T-BERD/MTS-8000 platforms. This table enables us to obtain an overview of the range and choose the appropriate module for fiber optic measurements.

The new JDSU optical module for dispersion measurements combines the measurement of the main dispersions into a single device: chromatic and polarisation mode dispersion.
Compatible with T-BERD/MTS-6000 / T-BERD/MTS-8000
Measurements processed in OFS-100/200
2 broadband sources available
Broadband source module or remote device
A single module to conduct 3 dispersion tests
Up to 55 dB dynamic range
Automatic testing for all measurements


In the above order, we can observe the results from fiber optic measurements conducted for polarisation dispersion, chromatic dispersion and spectral attenuation.
