COMMUNICATIONS TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

JDSU’s T-BERD 6000 is a compact and lightweight test platform designed for the
installation and maintenance of fiber networks. It provides field service
technicians with the highest levels of performance and upgradeability on the
market today.

Modular in design, the T-BERD 6000 offers an extensive portfolio of test
functionality with over forty different fiber modules supporting a wide range of
applications. The versatility of the T-BERD 6000 allows technicians to standardize
using one type of test equipment and then introduce new testing capabilities in
the field without incurring additional costs.

Since the T-BERD 6000 is compatible with our existing fiber module product line,
technicians can exchange plug-in modules between the T-BERD 8000 Multiple
Network Test Platform and the T-BERD 6000, in the field and without the need
for additional tools. To ensure the highest level of return on your test equipment
capital investment, existing OTDR modules from the MTS-5100 can be
transformed (with an extension) for use with the T-BERD 6000.

A Wide Range of OTDR Modules

JDSU has developed a wide range of field-interchangeable OTDR modules that
are suitable for any application on any type of network. JDSU offers over thirty
OTDR modules for testing and troubleshooting any multimode or singlemode
network. The T-BERD 6000 features JDSU’s industry-leading 50 dB UHD OTDR
module.

High Performance

The JDSU OTDR module product line is the industry’s reference for
performance. The T-BERD 6000 features both the new VLR and UHD OTDR
modules and offers:

– Best-in-industry optical specifications

– Highest dynamic range (50 dB at 1550 nm)

– Shortest event dead zones (80 cm for the VLR module)

– Distance, loss, and ORL measurements

Unique to the market:
Automatic bi-directional
acquisition and analysis

Ideal for End-to-End Commissioning

OTDR bi-directional testing is required in order to obtain true and accurate splice
loss readings. JDSU has developed an innovative automatic bi-directional analysis
function that is integrated directly into the T-BERD 6000 platform, saving at least
50% of the time required for traditional bi-directional analysis.

– True splice loss measurement

– Reveals events that are hidden by dead zones in one direction

– Eliminates operator error by using the same setup

– Automatic fiber continuity check

Greater Productivity with Communications

With limited telephone line and cell phone coverage during fiber testing, the
T-BERD 6000 offers a built-in optical talkset option for permanent communication
between test technicians. Near end and far end technicians can communicate with
each other,avoiding many of the testing mistakes that can prove costly if another truck
roll is required to fix a problem.

For bi-directional testing that requires both the near end and far end units to acquire
data, the Data mode on the optional talkset enables both units to synchronize data
acquisition during OTDR testing and to retrieve test results for pass/fail analysis.

– 45 dB optical talkset

– File transfer capability through the fiber

– Remote control of the far end unit

– Talkset is compatible with the OFI-2000 and with the OTS-55 Optical Talkset

standalone unit

Effective Test Report Generation

Transfer data and generate comprehensive reports using JDSU’s FiberTrace and
FiberCable analysis software.

– Generate proof-of-performance reports with a high degree of customization

– Dedicated tables are created for each test result (OTDR, CD, PMD, ORL, etc.)

– Pass/fail indicators for quick analysis of problem areas

– Macro bend identification and fault report summary capabilities
