 From Physical Plant Integrity to Bandwidth Verification, Amplifier Tuning to Transport Optimization, the CMA5000a is the Only Tool You Will Need!
From fiber installation to service deployment, the CMA5000a is designed to maximize network performance and accelerate the deployment of new services. Critical network parameters and performance can be monitored and network impairments quickly identified to accelerate the deployment of new services. Results can then be easily documented by the powerful Windows based platform simplifying and reducing the non-revenue generating activities associated with operating an optical network. A modular design with different size bay adapters allows you to customize your test set as needed adding further value.
As the leader in optical fiber and network characterization, the CMA5000a offers all the test applications required for comprehensive physical layer characterization, including: OTDR, Chromatic Dispersion, Polarization Mode Dispersion, Loss Test Set, and Optical Return Loss. Supplemental tools such as a Visual Fault Locator and Video Inspection Probe are also available for a complete testing solution. Once the fiber is certified, equipment turn-up, optimization and troubleshooting of the transport layers can be performed for key technologies including: SONET/SDH/PDH, OTN and Ethernet - ensuring your network is performing as it should.
Features
Test Gigabit Ethernet, DWDM, SONET, OTDR, ORL, PMD, and CD all with the same easy-to-use multi-layer test platform.
XTA For characterizing and documenting performance levels, the CMA5000a's eXtended Transport Analysis (XTA)application provides efficient, reliable testing of a multitude of parameters, including Alarm and Error Analysis, APS with 125 us resolution, Round Trip Delay measurement with 100 ns resolution, and network availability and performance evaluation. The XTA application characterizes networks supplying PDH/T-carriers to SONET/SDH up to 10 Gbps. The XTA's Troublescan features automatically detect problems, allowing network impairments to be identified and rectified quickly.
UTA The last few years have witnessed a tremendous evolution of the transport networks with the emergence of new technologies. Engineers and technicians tasked with the installation, turn-up and maintenance of today's networks have to deal with this increasing complexity in their daily job. In this context, a test instrument like the CMA5000a Universal Transport Analyzer capable to manage all the main technologies in one single module is a great help.
EthernetThe CMA5000a Gigabit Ethernet application measures critical parameters during network installation, including throughput, latency, burstability, and frame loss (as detailed in RFC 2544) to ensure proper and efficient deployment of services. For troubleshooting, the CMA5000a Channel Statistics option allows the user to quickly identify the root cause of network impairments, not just the symptoms. The Channel Statistics option presents detailed statistics on all traffic received for up to 8,000 individual Ethernet or IP addresses, VLAN tags, or MPLS labels. When combined with comprehensive and professional reporting, these features allow you to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and document 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks.
OTDRThe CMA5000a Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) application reduces the time to install, commission, and maintain fiber spans. Featuring a multitude of available wavelengths, up to 50 dB of dynamic range, and dead zones of about 1.0 m, the OTDR application is the ideal solution for testing long-haul backbone networks, Metro/Access networks and FTTx deployments that incorporate passive optical networks (PONs). The CMA5000a OTDR application also features SCPI command support for remote operation or automated testing routines.
PMDThe CMA5000a Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) application characterizes the data rate capability of each fiber, quickly identifying which fibers are capable of providing higher data rates and increased revenue potential.
CDThe CMA5000a Chromatic Dispersion application provides accurate CD characterization to maximize bandwidth. This application quickly measures the chromatic dispersion, chromatic dispersion slope, and the zero-dispersion wavelength of any fiber type to allow optimized compensation.
OSA The CMA5000a Optical Spectrum Analyser application provides a thorough way to evaluate DWDM and CWDM system performance. Channel wavelengths, spacing, drift and gain tilt can be measured ensuring your quality of service is maintained. |
