Data Sheet
 The Right Combination
The combination of CD, PMD, and AP test functions allows technicians
to validate the compatibility of the fiber link with high-speed dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system implementation,
including reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM)
networks. The performance of each individual function makes the
ODM the right tool to characterize fiber for transmission speeds of 40
and 100 Gb/s in the metropolitan environment.

Chromatic Dispersion
yy Two-ended test using one fiber based on phase-shift method

yy 1450-1640 nm wavelength range characterization

yy Suitable for any fiber type

yy Dynamic range up to 33 dB

Polarization Mode Dispersion

yy Based on the fixed analyzer method using the Fourier transform

yy Established in the market

yy High dynamic range up to 45 dB

Attenuation Profile
yy dB loss/km over the full wavelength range: 1450-1640 nm

yy Allow DWDM transmission band characterization

Characterizing Metro and Access Networks

In addition to its high level of integration and industry-leading field
test performance features, all international standardization bodies
have approved or referenced all test methods used in the ODM
module.

The compactness, ease of use, and low cost make the ODM
module the product of choice for metropolitan links and network
characterization. Module features include:

yy Test through non-bidirectional components, including erbium doped

fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and filters

yy Very fast acquisition time (from 20 to 40 seconds) with minimum 250

acquisition points

yy One input port for any test configuration
