OTU-8000 Optical Test Unit

Rack-mounted fiber test for backbone, metro, and access networks
Key Benefits • Reduce MTTR by locating fiber optic faults in minutes
instead of hours
• Reduce operational costs by eliminating erroneous
dispatches
• Anticipate service disruptions by detecting fiber
degradation before it affects service
• Protect your fiber investment by monitoring the long-term
performance of installed fibers
• Reduce construction costs by accelerating test processes
and empowering test staff

Key Features • Protect network integrity by quickly detecting and locating

fiber intrusion
• Dual IP communication channels
• Switch scalability up to 1080 ports
• Web-browser access
• Advanced fault location The OTU-8000 Optical Test Unit lies at the core of the JDSU optical network
monitoring system (ONMSi). Combining optical time-domain reflectom-
• E-mail and SMS notifications etry (OTDR) and optical-switch technology, a single OTU-8000 unit can test
• Small size (2 RU) hundreds of fiber links within a 40,000 km2 area. When a fiber fault occurs, the
ONMSi reports the GPS location of the fault within minutes.
• Dual power feeds
The modularity of the OTU-8000 meets all of the requirements for monitoring
• No hard disk light or dark fiber-optic networks. Integrated with the latest technology, it can
• Low power consumption monitor both long-haul and FTTx networks.

• LAN-based firmware downloads With the OTU-8000 installed at the central office, providers can test hundreds of
live passive optical networks (PONs), regardless of the split ratio. It can accelerate
• Expandable by adding an additional PON installations when setting up new customers and troubleshooting by
test module enabling technicians to sectionalize the network to determine the cause of a
• Very fast fault detection fault.
Organizations concerned with network security issues can use the OTU-8000
to detect and locate fiber tapping after only a few tenths of a decibel are inserted.
Applications
• Fiber monitoring for service
providers, utilities, and dark-fiber
providers
• FTTx construction, provisioning, and
maintenance tests
• Fiber-tapping detection for critical
applications
