• Simple and easy touch-panel operation for easy first-time use by any operator
• Wide dynamic range supporting fault detection and troubleshooting of submarine cables with repeaters at 80 km or wider intervals
• Built-in tunable light source with high wavelength accuracy of ±0.2 nm for wavelength setting range of 1535.03 to 1565.08 nm
• Adjustable output power from 0 to +13 dBmn

Broadband Internet access is spreading worldwide and there is a dramatic increase in demand for fast international connections. Based on future forecasts of optical submarine cable capacity, it will be necessary to increase the capacity of current networks and lay new submarine cables. Newly deployed cables require evaluation at service start and in-service troubleshooting. The MW9001A Coherent OTDR is the perfect solution for troubleshooting ultra-long-distance, submarine optical fiber cables with multiple repeaters (EDFA). In comparison to previous instruments for measuring submarine optical cables, it is less than half the weight and size for easy on-site portability and operations.
