The JDSU T BERD 8000 Network Test Platform is a portable optical network tester. The JDSU T BERD 8000 Network Test Platform supports OTDR, chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, attenuation profile, loss, and CWDM/DWDM testing. The JDSU T BERD 8000 Network Test Platform includes a transport module for PDH/T-Carrier, SDH/SONET, and Ethernet testing up to 10 Gb/s.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The T BERD 8000 uses interchangeable modules in a single mainframe.[1][2]
The platform supports optical time domain reflectometry, chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, attenuation profile, optical spectrum analysis, insertion loss, optical return loss, and transport signal testing through appropriate plug-in modules.[1][2][5][6]
The platform includes automatic testing functions, pass or fail analysis, remote control capability, and bi-directional measurement workflows.[1][2][5]
Where it fits in the process flow
The T BERD 8000 fits in fiber installation, commissioning, maintenance, verification, and troubleshooting workflows.[1][2][5]
The platform sits after fiber buildout and before or during service acceptance when technicians need to measure link loss, reflectance, dispersion, spectral performance, and transport signal behavior.[1][2][5]
Applications
The platform is used for OTDR-based fiber testing, chromatic dispersion testing, polarization mode dispersion testing, attenuation measurements, and optical return loss measurements.[1][2][5]
The platform is used for CWDM and DWDM network analysis, ROADM-related measurements, EDFA and DFB testing, Ethernet testing, and SDH or SONET transport testing.[1][2][5][6]
