Optical channel checker for CWDM networks

25 June 2008 Test & Measurement

JDSU has added to its SmartClass family of testers with the OCC-55 Smart optical channel checker for CWDM networks. This innovative selective power meter provides a low-cost alternative to optical spectrum analysers (OSAs).

Developed for CWDM network installation, maintenance and surveillance teams, the OCC-55 is specifically designed for CWDM system installation, upgrades and troubleshooting.

CWDM technology enables network operators to cost-effectively increase bandwidth on existing fibre networks 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 OCC-55 meets the markets requirements for a CWDM analyser and equips field technicians with the ability to check for CWDM channels.
