VIAVI Solutions Quick Card T-BERD®/MTS-5800 Modular Test Set CWDM OTDR Smart Test Assistant This quick card describes how to connect to a fiber under test and use the Smart Test Assistant to configure test setups, run tests, and analyze results on a VIAVI T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with a 4100-series CWDM OTDR module. The CWDM OTDR is meant to test a specific wavelength on a live Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed (CWDM) network. Care must be taken to select and test the correct wavelength. Equipment Requirements: • T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped Software Release V18.0 or greater • E4100 Series CWDM OTDR Module (E41CWDMC10L, E41CWDM10U, or E41CWDM8U) • Fiber optic cleaning and inspection tools • Launch Cable (minimum 20-meter Fiber optic patch cable) with connectors matching the OTDR port and Fiber Under Test • Optical Coupler to connect Launch Cable to fiber under test Figure 1: Equipment Requirements The following information is required to complete the test: • Type of Connectors (SC UPC, SC APC, LC, etc.) • Distance unit (feet, meters, miles, kilometers) • CWDM Wavelength to be tested Figure 2: E41CWDM OTDR Module Fiber Inspection Guidelines: • Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe microscope to inspect both sides of every connection being used (OTDR Port, Launch Cable, bulkhead connector, patch cables, etc.) • Focus the fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the connector. • If it appears clean, run inspection test. • If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test. Repeat until it passes.
