OCETS Plus Series is an advanced optical component environmental test system that features a high return loss (RL) monitoring function that can monitor up to 70 dB of RL. The system can monitor up to 210 device channels (420 ports) and has high insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) repeatability. OCETS Plus Series provides single-mode and multi-mode systems and includes the EasyOCETS software application. The software application can perform unattended long-term monitoring, measure optical component IL, PDL, and RL, and meet the requirements of Telcordia standards (such as GR-326-CORE, GR-910-CORE, GR-1435-CORE, GR-1209-CORE, and GR-2866-CORE). OCETS Plus Series can also qualify optical components (such as jumpers, cables, and passive splitters) for Verizon FOC certification.
The OCETS Plus series is an optical component environmental test system designed for unattended long‑term monitoring of insertion loss, return loss, and polarization dependent loss. It supports up to 210 user channels (420 test ports) and offers options such as High Return Loss (HiRL) up to 70 dB and multiple wavelength source configurations.
The system includes custom JDSU SC switches, Fabry‑Perot lasers, a polarization controller, and EasyOCETS software for PC‑based control, chamber management, and data logging. Specifications cover insertion loss repeatability, return loss dynamic range, operating temperature and humidity, and power consumption.
| Return Loss dynamic range (HiRL option) | >70 dB |
|---|---|
| Number of channels | Up to 210 input and 210 output (420 ports) |
| Insertion Loss dynamic range (Single‑mode) | >65 dB |
| Operating Temperature range | 15 to 30 °C |
With the HiRL option the system can monitor return loss up to 70 dB.
It provides up to 210 input and 210 output ports, for a total of 420 test ports.
Customers can choose a two‑wavelength (1310/1550 nm) or a four‑wavelength (1310/1490/1550/1625 nm) source.
A PC pre‑installed with EasyOCETS software is included, and a separate CD provides the HiRL driver when ordered.
