Submarine Cable Testing – Knowledge Hub. ANRITSU.-
Cross-border communications are expanding with construction of edge-computing sites and data centers. Securing the quality of submarine network cables, which facilitate high-capacity, high-speed and low-latency communications, is becoming more important. Submarine networks are being upgraded and many new landing stations are also being built to meet these requirements.
?Tests Solutions for Submarine-Cable I&M
Submarine-cable quality test
Coherent OTDR is required to check submarine cables with EDFA. The Coherent OTDR MW90010A measures submarine-cable loss and identifies fault locations.
This portable solution is ideal for both landing-site and shipboard cable and network installation and maintenance.
Submarine cables transmit DWDM signals requiring quality measurement at each wavelength.
An optical spectrum analyzer MS9740B can measure the wavelength, power, and OSNR of WDM signals.
?Submarine Cable Testing –
MW90010A Coherent OTDR (C-OTDR) is a measuring instrument for detecting faults in ultra-long optical submarine cables of up to 12,000 km including multiple repeaters (EDFA). It is the ideal solution for evaluating new cables at service deployment as well as for troubleshooting in-service faults.
