The HP 8147 is a high performance optical time domain reflectometer
for installation, commissioning and bench applications. It is designed
for fast and accurate measurement and analysis of a fiber link, all at the
touch of a single button.
“Easy Mode” lets you pre-program complete procedures, so that
with a couple of keystrokes, you get standardized measurements. That
way, regardless of the operator’s experience level, you get accurate and
repeatable results ever y time.
Extended in-depth analysis including two-way measurements,
delta measurements and comparison of up to four traces, is now available online. A return loss graph allows you to see the reflectance of individual events at a glance, as well as the total return loss of the link.
The HP 8147 remote ability provides the centralized operation,
collection and analysis of results from remotely-stationed OTDRs. As a
result, you can maximize the use of scarce test expertise throughout
your network.
At only 9 kg (20 lbs), the HP 8147 can be carried easily into those
awkward places.
A variety of performance classes can now be selected to ensure
you have just the right performance for your application. Many standard interfaces and options are available to ensure that the OTDR can
be configured to your exact needs.

HP E6000B Mini-Optical Time Domain
Reflectometer
The HP E6000B mini-OTDR maximizes your network uptime by locating and characterizing faults quickly and accurately. The unrivalled
combination of 16,000 data points and a minimum sample spacing of
8 cm allows the powerful analysis algorithm to determine the exact location and characteristic of an event. Add to this the 20 m attenuation deadzone, and you really can measure and resolve closely-spaced events
along the whole fiber link.
Its one button operation, combined with its intuitive user interface, makes it easy even for those with minimal training to quickly make
advanced, reliable OTDR measurements.
Its high dynamic range of up to 45 dB not only gives you the possibility to look at long stretches of fiber, but also helps you increase the
speed at which you can accurately determine a certain event.
The HP E6000B, however, goes beyond a mini-OTDR. Its fiber
break locator mode looks exclusively for breaks, and these are then displayed quickly. The real-time mode gives you instant feedback on parameter changes you make, so that the optimal setup can be found quickly.

Additional Modules
The HP E6000B mini-OTDR is not just a high performance OTDR for
single-mode fiber networks. Additional modules and sub-modules enhance its capabilities, without adding any significant weight. The modules simply plug into the existing instrument, making the mini-OTDR
the right tool for versatile, optical fiber test measurements.
Multimode Modules
These modules are designed to test all popular multimode fibers at both
850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths. With an event deadzone of less than
three meters, the HP E6005A multimode module offers a dynamic
range of up to 34 dB.
Ultra High Performance 1625 nm Modules
The HP E6010B, HP E6012A, HP E4321A and HP E6060A OTDR modules enable testing of Optical Supervisor y Channel capability of WDM
links and fast and accurate fiber testing at 1625 nm. Out of band testing
also allows users to perform a fiber test while transmitting data at 1310
nm or 1550 nm.
Optical Power Meter Sub-Module
This high performance, miniature and extremely light (130 g) submodule provides a measurement range of +10 dBm to –70 dBm with 5%
accuracy, 0.01 dB resolution and automatic zeroing. The power meter
can be used to perform end-to-end loss testing, characterize optical
passive components and test transmitter power levels.
A simple user interface and a hold data function make this power
meter easy-to-use. A reference power level can be stored at each wavelength for loss measurements when the source is not available. It can
even detect various modulation frequencies used to identify the wavelength being sent by the source. Now it’s possible to perfor m end-to-end
loss testing without communicating with the other end of your link.
The power meter has high return loss and low polarization-dependent loss. This ensures accurate measurements, especially for high
coherent laser sources, such as in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (D-WDM) and CATV applications. It is fast, providing more than
three updates each second. Its non-contact ferrule enhances reliability
and facilitates cleaning in the field.
Visual Fault Finder Sub-Module
This visible light source helps you to identify bends, breaks and stress
points along individual fibers at the patch panel. The bright red light
allows you to locate these faults within the deadzone of an OTDR, and at
distances of up to 5 km. The Visual Fault Finder can be used to identify
fibers within a cable and also to check the quality of your patchcords
and connections. The 1 Hz modulation causes the light to flash, making
it easier to identify fibers and locate faults.
Optical Fiber Test Set–Everything in Your Hands
The mini-OTDR from Hewlett-Packard provides much more than just the
fastest OTDR measurements; all the HP OTDR modules also act as powerful stabilized continuous wave (CW) light sources, and with the Optical
Power Meter Sub-Module in place, you’re able to perfor m loss and power
measurements. Within half a minute, you can switch from locating a
break with the Visual Fault Finder to checking the multimode LAN.
All the OTDR modules use HP connector interfaces, which are
easy to clean, interchangeable and provide flexibility.
At less than 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs), the HP E6000B, with its rugged design,
is ideal to be carried even into those inaccessible places. Containing the
most advanced smart battery technology, you never need be caught
without power. The battery delivers exact information on the charge
status—with an accurate on-screen “fuel gauge”. A full recharge takes
less than 3 hours.
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (cont’d)
There’s no need to switch instruments, for multimode or singlemode measurements; with the HP mini-OTDR, you have a complete
optical fiber test set in one instrument.
