Agilent / Keysight N3900A / N3910AL

The Agilent N3900A Modular Network Tester is a portable, lightweight, rugged test platform for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of optical networks. Developed from customer feedback from installation and maintenance (I&M) technicians
worldwide, its modular design delivers the measurements you need, when you need them. Snap-on measurement modules meet your test requirements for today’s communications networks; the modular platform protects your investment, and lets you grow into your future measurement needs.

The Modular Network Tester can hold up to three modules to perform OTDR measurements, chromatic dispsersion, polarization mode dispersion or optical spectrum analysis, or a 1x12 Optical Switch module. A video microscope camera can be connected
to ensure clean, fast and safe connector inspection as the connector surface picture can be analyzed on the 10.4” display. From the carrying case to the handles and tilt-stand, from the pop-up connector to your choice of interface, attention to detail and to your feedback provide the perfect fit for the way you work.

N3910AL OTDR Module:

The Agilent OTDR test engines N391x work together with the Agilent Modular Network Tester, and are easy to snap on. The OTDR application is uploaded in seconds due to the dynamic software architecture, and allows plug and play operation. Each OTDR test engine has built-in RISC processing power for fast and accurate trace acquisition and data processing. These test engines work in parallel processing mode with other connected test engines, for example, the 1x12 Switch module. All OTDR test engines can be shared between multiple users, without the need for any software changes.

With the N3910AL (1310/1550 nm) OTDR test engine, long haul fiber links can be tested and qualified faster than ever before, thanks to its 45 dB ultra high dynamic range technology. For high fiber count cables, where the test time is critical, this OTDR Test engine significantly reduces test times from minutes to seconds.
