Installing Complex Mobile Networks

The worldwide spread of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets using SNS, video streaming, etc., is causing an
explosive increase in data traffic volumes. Mobile network base stations have various configurations; as well as shifting
towards using smaller remote radio head (RRH) installations, optical fiber fault-finding and transport quality tests are
required as the network environment evolves.
Installing the Transport Module MU100010A (10G Multirate)/MU100011A (100G Multirate) and OTDR Module MU100020A/
MU100021A/MU100022A/MU100023A in the Network Master Pro MT1000A supports all-in-one optical-fiber fault finding and
transport quality tests.
Using the MU100020A/MU100021A/MU100022A/MU100023A, scratched or dirty connectors at fiber cable connections can be
detected as fault locations from the excessive optical reflections to support fault finding and troubleshooting of Mobile
optical networks. Additionally, work efficiency is greatly improved using the Fiber Visualizer function supporting Easy-to-Use/
Easy-to-Report testing.

Network Master Pro MT1000A, OTDR Module MU100020A/21A/22A/23A

All-in-One

Network I&M is supported by installing the MU100020A/MU100021A/
MU100022A/MU100023A and MU100010A/MU100011A in the MT1000A.

The OTDR Module lineup includes the MU100021A for OTDR
measurements of both SM and MM fibers in high demand by the
Mobile network I&M, plus the MU100020A/MU100022A/MU100023A for
OTDR measurements of SM fiber used by PON networks and long- range
measurements in Core/Metro networks.

With 10G/100G Multirate Module and OTDR Module

Easy-to-Use GUI

The MT1000A GUI design simulates onsite operations to help increase
evaluation efficiency at network installation and to speed-up fault
troubleshooting and isolation. Additionally, the intuitive user interface
operations also help cut training time.

Portable

All test functions required for network verification are built into the
compact MT1000A cabinet for easy, all-in-one onsite support of most
communications standards; the standard soft carry bag accessory is also
ideal for carrying the MT1000A onsite.

Long Battery Life

Since AC power is not commonly available onsite, the MT1000A can run
for up to 6 hours (with OTDR Module) on just one battery charge. And
the optional car 12 Vdc adapter offers in-vehicle charging, helping
facilitate uninterrupted work when moving between sites.

All-in-One Functions Required by Physical Layer I&M Tests

The MU100020A/MU100021A/MU100022A/MU100023A built-in light
source and power meter functions can be used for optical loss tests in
addition to OTDR tests. An optional (Option 002) visible light source
can be installed as well.

Moreover, the presence of scratches and dirt on the fiber end face can
be checked using the Video Inspection Probe (VIP).

Easy-to-Read and Easy-to-Use 9-inch High-Resolution Touch
Screen

The large 9-inch high-resolution, full-color, touch screen is easy to use
and displays easy-to-read measurement results, helping improve onsite
work efficiency.

OTDR Module Applications

Generally, depending on the optical fiber measurement environment, OTDR measurements require multiple settings such as distance range, pulse
width, measurement time, etc., making work difficult for technicians who do not generally use an OTDR. When performing Pass/Fail evaluation of an
optical network for a report, a simple intuitive GUI is key to improving work efficiency.

The MU100020A/MU100021A/MU100022A/MU100023A emphasizes easy-to-understand operability using four application measurement modes:
Standard OTDR Measurement, FTTA Measurement, Construction Mode and OLTS Measurement.

Standard OTDR Measurements

Graphical Display Based on Three-Window Operation: SETUP/TEST/RESULT

This sets the measurement wavelength.

Other conditions, such as distance range, measurement time, etc., are
measured at the Auto setting conditions.

One-Button Screen Switch

This sets the detection conditions for optical fiber connectors and
splices as well as the Pass/Fail evaluation threshold values, and starts
measurement.

This displays the Pass/Fail evaluation results for each event graphically
at the Fiber Visualizer screen.

Additionally, waveform analysis is supported by switching to the Trace
screen.

The measured data are output as a PDF report by an easy one-button
operation.
