JDSU has released a new family of access field testers, the SmartClass test solutions, that help carriers efficiently test broadband access networks. The products were on display for the first time at CeBIT 2006 in Germany.
Included in the portfolio are the SmartClass ADSL for ADSL 1/2/2+ testing and the SmartClass OTS-55 optical test set for dark fibre installation and troubleshooting. According to the company, these SmartClass handheld field test tools are rugged, portable, complete solutions for field testing in the outside plant, which provide powerful yet economical test solutions for FTTx/PON, DWDM, CWDM, and xDSL technologies.
SmartClass ADSL: The SmartClass ADSL tester addresses the demand for a simple and economical handheld point solution for ADSL 1/2/2+ services testing and basic copper qualification. Meeting the needs of service provider technicians who do not require a modular solution or in-depth triple-play services testing, JDSU says that the SmartClass ADSL is a low-cost single function test tool meeting these limited needs and is more economical and practical for large-scale ADSL deployments. It is also suitable for less experienced field technicians thanks to its easy-to-use, ruggedised design.
SmartClass OTS-55: The SmartClass OTS-55 optical talk set facilitates dark fibre communication between two fibre head ends. To set up a communication link, it can either be used in a set of two instruments or as a single unit working together with a JDSU MTS-8000 or OFI-2000 at the far end.
