This unit
The JDSU E8136LR is a field-interchangeable Long Range OTDR plug-in module engineered for comprehensive fiber optic network testing and fault localization across short-haul, long-haul, and very long-haul deployments. This singlemode-only module delivers dynamic range up to 50 dB and pinpoints fiber breaks, splice losses, and attenuation with precision dead zones as short as 0.8 m. It characterizes fiber length, attenuation, and splice loss while discriminating failures within patch panels and distribution frames - critical for commissioning and field troubleshooting.

JDSU E8136LR — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDSU E8136LR. 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 E8136LR 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.
