JDSU today introduced the Medium Range Optical Dispersion Measurement (MR-ODM) module for the T-BERD/MTS-6000 and -8000 platforms.

The single plug-in module includes a patented solution for chromatic dispersion (CD) measurements and offers polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and attenuation profile test functions, making it the industry’s most compact and integrated dispersion solution dedicated to field testing fiber optic networks.

During the installation or maintenance phases, measuring CD, PMD and attenuation is essential for successful fiber characterization, a series of tests that identify fiber viability for very high-speed transmission systems (10GEth, 40Gb/s and higher). If not properly managed, CD, PMD and attenuation can cause severe performance issues on transmission quality, which must operate at peak levels in order to deliver reliable broadband services.
