As CWDM and DWDM technology adoption for broadband services continue to grow in Access Networks, technicians require comprehensive and lightweight xWDM test tools. VIAVI OSA-4100 Optical Spectrum Analyzer and OCV-4100 Optical Channel Verifier module are designed to speed up deployment, maintenance and trouble shooting of passive and active CWDM and DWDM fiber networks.

The modules optical performance, combined with the platforms suite of testing features, ensures that comprehensive testing is performed right "” the first time. OCV-4100 scans any optical CWDM or DWDM system over the full wavelength range and automatically records all channels with the ITU-T channel (ch) number, wavelength or frequency, offset and the related power level.

OSA-4100 provides an addition measurement of the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) per channel to qualify amplified links. The test results can be displayed in a graphical spectrum format or in a table of results.

The built-in wavelength and power drift test application together with customizable thresholds for pass/fail analysis help to simplify and speed up CWDM and DWDM system validation and performance verification. An integrated SFP/SFP+ slot can drive fixed or tunable pluggables to validate or program transceivers in the field to activate links faster and improve first time turn-up rate.
