The VIAVI Solutions T-BERD®/MTS-6000, -6000A, and -8000 Optical Dispersion Measurement (ODM) module offers chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and attenuation profile (AP) test functions in one plug-in module. It is the industry’s most compact and integrated dispersion solution dedicated to field testing fiber optic networks. The module includes a patented solution for CD measurement.

The right testing combination The ability to measure CD, PMD, and AP is essential during fiber characterization, which is a series of tests performed to identify fiber viability for very high-speed transmission systems. These tests include 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 40 G in both the installation and maintenance phases. If not properly managed, CD, PMD,
and AP severely degrade transmission quality that must operate optimally to deliver reliable broadband services.

The combination of CD, PMD, and AP test functions lets technicians validate the compatibility of the fiber link with high-speed coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM)/dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system implementation including reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) networks. The performance of each function makes the ODM module the right tool for characterizing fiber at transmission speeds of 40 Gb/s and higher.
