PR Newswire (US)
MILPITAS, Calif., and ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- JDSU today announced the latest generation of its MTS/T-BERD
fiber optic test line, the MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE. A highly
integrated, non-modular, compact Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
(OTDR) ideally suited for the construction, fault location and
troubleshooting/maintenance of FTTx and access networks, the
MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE offers even inexperienced field service
technicians a high-performance tool for broadband network quality
and reliability. The tester will be on display this week at the
2007 FTTH Conference & Expo in Orlando, September 30-October 4
(booth 304). The new product will be marketed as the T-BERD 6000
LITE in North America and the MTS-6000 LITE throughout Europe, Asia
and other regions. "The JDSU MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE is a
full-featured OTDR and fault locator for the most demanding test
conditions found in the last mile," said Enzo di Luigi, general
manager of JDSU's fiber optics Communications Test and Measurement
group. "Our tester offers the best screen size in its class,
facilitating OTDR and FTTx/access network test demands by
simultaneously displaying the required information on one screen."
The MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE troubleshoots any event that can degrade
fiber link quality using proprietary, one-key functionality that
pinpoints any fault on the network in a fraction of a second.
Performance-wise, it provides the most accurate distance testing on
the market. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE also detects any fiber bending
in the network and improves response rate with an instantaneous
traffic detection function. For installation and maintenance, the
MTS/T-BERD 6000 LITE provides a compact test unit and displays on
its color screen all relevant information required for fiber
qualification. The OTDR trace and table are displayed
simultaneously, improving troubleshooting in FTTx/access networks
by identifying terminations and splice points. All features usually
available in dedicated, larger construction OTDR units are
available in the compact MTS/T- BERD 6000 LITE. The MTS/T-BERD 6000
LITE also has a connection check option, which can include a Visual
Fault Locator (VFL), a power meter, a continuous wave light source
and a video inspection probe. The tester's large screen enables
easy analysis of the connector quality. The JDSU MTS/T-BERD 6000
LITE exceeds Telcordia GR-196-CORE specifications (including
ruggedness, drop testing, and extended battery life). About the
MTS/T-BERD Product Line The MTS/T-BERD product line has built a
solid worldwide reputation based on cutting-edge design and
performance. Compatibility with thousands of field-proven units
deployed worldwide by every major telecommunications network
operator enables easy migration to new network technologies while
continuing to reduce expenses. The MTS/T-BERD 6000 continues this
standard by offering a superior price/performance ratio and
enhancing the value and investment of the MTS-5000 and MTS/T-BERD
8000 platforms. Compatibility with the industry-leading MTS/T-BERD
8000 and a common user interface, file format, and results
presentation makes deployment of the MTS/T-BERD 6000 extremely
simple and efficient for a field services team already using other
MTS/T-BERD platforms. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; TSX: JDU)
