This unit
The Anritsu MU100020A is an OTDR module for the MT1000A Series Network Master Pro, delivering single-mode fiber characterization at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. This module performs fault location, length measurement, and loss analysis on ITU-T G.652 SMF (10/125 µm), with dynamic range of 39 dB at 1310 nm and 37.5 dB at 1550 nm. Event dead zone reaches ≤80 cm typical, while backscatter dead zone is ≤3.8 m (1310 nm) and ≤4.3 m (1550 nm) at IOR 1.500000. Distance measurement capability extends to 100 km with up to 250,001 sampling points.

Anritsu MU100020A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MU100020A. 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 Anritsu MU100020A 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.
