DTSS B-OTDR for T-BERD/MTS-8000 Platform
Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing of Strain, Temperature and Optical Loss
The portable DTSS on the T-BERD/MTS-8000 platform brings new DTSS technology to the field in a uniquely portable and high powered combination. This product can also be provided in a rack-mounted optical test unit within an OTU-8000 to be combined with ONMSi for a permanent fiber monitoring solution.
Highlights:
- Fiber characterization with B-OTDR reveals fiber strain and elongation or temperature.
- Ensure installations are done correctly without strain.
- Reduce and reverse cable strain by locating and releasing it before it breaks the cable or reduces the cable life using the portable DTSS.
Key Benefits:
- Simultaneous temperature and strain measurement.
- Single-ended solution requiring only one fiber.
- Portable and rack mounted form factors.
- Portable: Compact, modular and lightweight- no generated required.
- Rack-able form factor pairs with Viavi Fiber Monitoring Solution (ONMSi)
Key Features:
- OTDR solution (Brillouin OTDR).
- Temperature & strain threshold monitoring.
- Decorrelation of temperature & strain.
- Multi-port measurements.
- Low power consumption – rack-able version.
- Battery operated – portable version.
- Remote connectivity.
Applications:
- Pipeline Monitoring.
- Telecommunications cable strain testing for manufacturing, installation and maintenance.
- Power cable monitoring.
- Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).
