	Luciol very high resolution photon-counting OTDR The photon-counting Optical Time Domain Reflectometer is a high dynamic-range, short distance OTDR. Thephoton counting OTDR is a specialist OTDR which allows the analysis of short optical networks (up to 40 km for single mode fibres, with measurements windows between 200 m and 800 m). It features a very high spatial resolution (in the centimetre range) - compared with a typical resolution of several metres for a standard OTDR - and can differentiate separate events only 10cm apart. >>more info

Break locators, power meters, light sources and attenuators

Optical Test Toolkit module for Sunrise Telecom (MTT) handheld tester The Optical Test Toolkit Module for the MTT combines all of the tests needed to qualify optical fibre networks and identify faults including a bi-directional loss test, optical return loss, and visual fault locator. It provides stable laser sources and an accurate power meter for physical layer testing and qualifying the power attenuation in the fibre link or optical components. The Optical Return Loss (ORL) test ensures the signal's transmission qualify by checking for reflections from connectors or discontinuous interfaces. The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) offers the simplest way to check for breaks in the fibre path. The OTT module is one of a suite of optical testing modules for the versatile SunSet MTT platform - a complete solution for Metro Networks, FTTx (PON) Networks and Enterprise Networks.  >>more info

Fibre Microscope The primary causes of increased insertion loss and poor optical measurements are dirty and/or damaged optical connectors in patchcords and bulkheads. The FS-1000 is an easy-to-use video fiber scope which can quickly provide an image of the connector on either a standalone, battery operated LCD monitor or on your PC via a USB adapter. The USB version provides .jpg, .bmp, and .pdf image capture, allowing the images to be saved for baseline referencing and verification.

CWDM/DWDM Optical Spectrum Analysers

	Optical Spectrum Analyser (OSA) module for Agilent Modular Network Tester (MNT) chassis The 3935A OSA module for the MNT is capable of characterising DWDM systems in the S-, C- and L- bands and beyond. This includes optical spectrum characterisation both before and after optical amplifiers. With a scanning resolution of 0.005nm. a relative wavelength accuracy of 0.025 nm and excellent spectral dynamic range, The 3935A OSA module is designed to be used in systems with down to 25GHz channel spacing. The Agilent N3900A Modular Network Tester is a portable, lightweight, rugged test system for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of optical networks. It can hold up to three modules to perform OTDR, WDM or dispersion measurements , and a 1 x 12 Optical Switch module. >>more info
	Optical Channel Monitor module for Sunrise Telecom (MTT) handheld tester To manage the explosion of metro service installations, the Optical Channel Monitor (OCM) modules offer low cost alternatives to optical spectrum analyzers for field technicians deploying CWDM and DWDM networks. The OCM modules provide key measurements including wavelength, power, OSNR and advanced features like power and wavelength drift detection. The SunSet MTT presents a modular and expandable platform; the OCM module- along with Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and fibre Channel modules- is a complete toolkit for Metro networks >>more info
	DWDM Module for Sunrise Telecom Scaleable Test Toolkit (STT) chassis The DWDM Module tackles the toughest DWDM network installation and maintenance problems with ease. A spectrum display, wavelength drop, and wavelength converter is a one-two-three punch combination that can't be beat. The spectrum display across the C-Band and L-Band reveals physical layer problems with wavelength, power levels, and OSNR. Its fast spectrum scan takes less than 1.5 seconds, making network changes immediately apparent. By transmitting on and dropping out individual DWDM channels, the STT DWDM brings the advantages and precision of BER testing to DWDM networks. Never before has such comprehensive payload analysis been possible from within the DWDM network. Use the wavelength drop feature in combination with the STT SONET/SDH or Ethernet test functions to dig into each channel. The wavelength converter feature saves a ton of money, since it's like having a channel card for each ITU-T 50GHz wavelength. The tunable laser source inserts a SONET/SDH, OTN or Ethernet signal onto the DWDM network to facilitate network construction and troubleshooting. >>more info
