JDSU Unveils CWDM 'Channel Checker' to SmartClass Family of Testers
Focus on Core CWDM Test and Measurement Requirements Enables Increased Field Technician Efficiency
MILPITAS, Calif., May 6 - JDSU today announced the release of the OCC-55 Smart Optical Channel Checker for CWDM networks. The OCC-55 is an innovative selective power meter for CWDM applications that provides the market with a low-cost alternative to optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs). The OCC-55, developed for CWDM network installation, maintenance and surveillance teams, is specifically designed for CWDM system installation, upgrades and troubleshooting.
CWDM technology enables network operators to cost-effectively increase bandwidth on existing fiber networks to meet growing demand for IP-based triple play services.
CWDM systems are mainly being deployed in metropolitan areas where network operator customer groups are densely concentrated and can be reached within a reasonable system link span without the need of optical amplifiers. Because of this, field technicians can no longer afford to carry a sophisticated full-band OSA to every location in order to verify the presence and the power level of an individual CWDM channel. The compact and inexpensive OCC-55 meets the market requirement for a CWDM analyzer and equips every technician with the ability to check for CWDM channels.
"With the OCC-55 CWDM channel checker, our customers have, for the first time, a CWDM selective measurement tool that enables a broad range of field technicians," said Enzo di Luigi, general manager in JDSU's fiber optics Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "The OCC-55 has the best price-to-performance ratio on the market and advanced ease-of-use features that provide workforce efficiencies for today's heavily burdened fiber technicians."
The OCC-55 operates in the 1260 to 1620 nm range and deploys a USB interface (both USB host and client available with the OCC-55) that, when used in combination with the free-of-charge OFS-355 software, provides customized reports that are easily downloaded from the OCC-55 to a PC. The OCC-55 can analyze all 18 CWDM wavelengths in terms of the individual power level and then display the measurement results either in a "bar graph" or "tabular" mode.
