Detailed Product Description

The Industry Leader in Optical Performance
High performance networks demand even higher performance test and measurement equipment -- and there¿s no better solution than NetTest's award winning test and measurement solutions. Our newest offering, the CMA 4000i, continues the NetTest tradition of being the worldwide leader in optical test and measurement.

With 50 dB of dynamic range and deadzones as small as 3.0 m, the CMA 4000i is ideal for testing long haul backbone networks, metro networks or Passive Optical Networks (PONs). For complete system characterization, the CMA 4000i can be easily equipped with a light source and power meter for complete end-to-end loss testing. In addition, the Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option for the CMA 4000i enables you to locate breaks within the OTDR¿s deadzone or identify specific optical fibers within a cable. The System offers a variety of operating modes for varyingOTDR applications.

DWDM System Qualification
For commissioning or maintaining networks that employ DWDM technology, the model 4792 OSA module for the CMA 4000i is the ideal instrument. It allows the testing of DWDM networks deployed both today and in the future. Operating from 1520-1620 nm (C- and L-band), the model 4792 OSA module for the CMA 4000i Optical Test System can automatically identify over 400 DWDM channels spaced less than 12.5 GHz apart -- perfect for testing high capacity DWDM systems.

Characterizing complex DWDM systems is simple with the CMA 4000i. One-button operation ensures that even the novice user is capable of characterizing a complex DWDM system for channel center wavelength, power, and OSNR. Simply power on the unit with the OSA module installed and one of the following views will be displayed; Table View, Drift View, or Graph View.

¿Now available, NetTest¿s latest development in next generation OTDR testing, the CMA 4500.  The CMA 4500 combines the outstanding capabilities of NetTest¿s CMA 4000 with its industry leading CMA 5000 Multi-Layer Test Platform.
