Dedicated, Ease to Use Software
To simplify testing, the CMA5000a features dedicated testing modes
to automate and simplify the task at hand.
Fault Locate mode is designed for someone just starting out or the
novice who only uses an OTDR occasionally. Simply connect the
fiber and press test. The unit will verify the fiber is connected
correctly, select testing parameters, execute the test and provide a
text response indicating fault/break location and end to end loss.
Fault Locate Mode – ease to read results
For those who have more experience or would like to perform more
advanced testing, Classic OTDR mode allows the user to select all
parameters, compare up to eight traces and even generate splice
loss reports.

Added Value
To further increase the value of your CMA5000a OTDR, it can be
equipped with an integrated power meter, a high output stabilized
light source and integrated Visual Fault Locator (VFL). These
options are integrated into the single slot OTDR module and do not
require an additional module slot like some other solutions. In
addition, all OTDR wavelengths are available as stabilized light
sources reducing the equipment cost and providing a complete
end-to-end loss testing solution.
Whatever your testing needs, our world-class OTDR products are
designed to reduce the time to install, commission and maintain
fiber spans.
Cable commissioning is also automated through the use of
Construction OTDR mode where a wizard allows the user to select
the required testing wavelengths, number of fibers and file naming
scheme. The wizard then becomes the project manager guiding the
user through the testing and ensuring consistency with testing
parameters and file naming – virtually eliminating user induced errors.
