This unit
The Anritsu MW90010B is a coherent optical time domain reflectometer engineered for precision characterization and fault location in ultra-long submarine fiber optic cables. Using optical heterodyne detection, it delivers high sensitivity and 10 meter resolution across measurement ranges up to 20,000 km - ideal for intercontinental communication lines and networks employing optical amplifier repeaters. The instrument captures detailed waveform data including fault location, cable loss, bending loss, and fiber length.

Anritsu MW90010B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MW90010B. 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 MW90010B 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.
