DWDM Optical Spectrum Analyzer - OV350DW96
OV-350DW96 Handheld DWDM Optical Spectrum Analyzer
Mini OSA with 96 C-Band Channels, Pass/Fail Testing, and Drift Monitoring
The OV-350DW96 is one of the most compact, rugged, and affordable C-band Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSA) available, offering up to 96 DWDM channels with selectable 50 or 100 GHz spacing. This handheld powerhouse is built for field-based spectral verification, channel power monitoring, and drift testing in DWDM systems.
With <0.5 second real-time updates, intuitive 4” touch screen control, and multiple display modes (bar graph, 6 GHz line graph, and table view), it streamlines channel power analysis, pass/fail testing, and gain tilt monitoring across dense wavelength networks. Users can select channel identifiers by either frequency or wavelength and store up to 1,000 test results, exportable via USB.
Advanced features include 6 GHz slicing (0.05 nm) for drift tracking, power tilt monitoring, and optional video inspection with auto pass/fail grading (VIS-300 probe). With no moving parts and a ruggedized design, the OV-350DW96 thrives in metro, access, and lab environments.
