This unit
The JDSU E8117MR is an optical time domain reflectometer engineered for field-based testing, analysis, and troubleshooting of fiber optic networks. This instrument delivers precise measurements essential for installation, maintenance, and verification of optical infrastructure. The E8117MR characterizes fiber optic cables, identifies faults, and validates network integrity across single-mode and multimode fiber types.

JDSU E8117MR — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDSU E8117MR. Calibration covers distance accuracy verified against a calibrated fiber length reference, event loss measurement accuracy at splice and connector events, dead zone (event and attenuation) at rated pulse width, dynamic range verification at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, backscatter coefficient calibration, and return loss measurement accuracy. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common JDSU E8117MR faults: optical port connector damage or contamination, battery failure, display damage from field use, module failure on FTB or MTS platforms, calibration drift. Most field OTDRs fail due to physical damage. On modular platforms (EXFO FTB, Viavi MTS), individual module failures are serviced without replacing the entire mainframe. Optical port cleaning resolves many apparent measurement faults before mechanical repair is needed.
