|
Comtest is pleased to introduce JDSU’s latest addition to its SmartClass family of testers, the OCC-55 Smart Optical Channel Checker for CWDM networks. This innovative selective power meter provides the market with a low- cost alternative to optical spectrum analysers (OSAs).
The OCC-55, developed for CWDM network installation, maintenance and surveillance teams, is specifically designed for CWDM system installation, upgrades and trouble shooting. CWDM technology enables network operators to cost-effectively increase bandwidth on existing fiber network 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 for 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 markets requirements for a CWDM analyser and equips every technician with the ability to check for CWDM channels.
