JDSU Introduces Unmatched Return Loss Measurement Capabilities for FTTx Optical Components
MILPITAS, Calif., March 22 -- JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; TSX: JDU) today introduced the Optical Component Environmental Test System (OCETS) Plus for optical component qualification testing, including the industry's first large-scale automated test system capable of repeatable return loss measurements up to 70dB. OCETS Plus will be on display next week at OFC 2007 in Anaheim, California, March 27-29 (hall C, booth 2425).
JDSU's innovative test and measurement solutions like OCETS Plus are critical to system production and qualification of FTTx components.
With over 420 test ports now supported (more than double earlier versions), OCETS Plus runs on JDSU EasyOCETS software that enables streamlined test set-up, monitoring, graphing, and database interfacing of up to twelve 32-port PON splitters. With EasyOCETS software, test configuration times are reduced from hours to minutes, allowing lab staff to focus on test results rather than configuring and maintaining the test system. An option to integrate the JDSU T-BERD 8000's high-performance VLR OTDR module further reduces device load times and removes the need for costly splicing.
"An effective FTTx network infrastructure requires test support from component level qualification testing through network service assurance," said Enzo DiLuigi, general manager of JDSU's Fiber Optics Communications Test and Measurement group. "With the enhancements available via OCETS Plus, JDSU is the only test and measurement provider that validates the reliability of FTTx networks from beginning to end."
EasyOCETS software is also available separately to upgrade existing OCETS systems.
About the JDSU Optical Component Environmental Test System (OCETS)
JDSU's OCETS has long been the choice for users whose components must meet Telcordia standards such as GR-326-CORE, GR-910-CORE, GR-1209-CORE, GR-1221- CORE, and GR-1435-CORE. In these test standards, optical components are subjected to a range of environmental conditions, usually over a period of many weeks. Chamber conditions are logged at specified time intervals and the required parameters for each device under test (DUT) are measured. User selected parameters are calculated from these measurements and are logged along with the time and environmental data. Originally developed for submarine component qualification programs, OCETS has been shipping commercially for over a decade.
