This unit
The Anritsu MW9076B is a compact optical time domain reflectometer engineered for field fiber diagnostics and verification. It delivers rapid trace acquisition with integrated display and automated measurement modes, enabling technicians to execute comprehensive fiber characterization from a single keypress. The instrument combines OTDR, chromatic dispersion analysis, Fresnel reflection measurement, and light source functions in a single platform, with real-time sweep capability of 0.15 seconds and waveform/connection loss display within 10 seconds.

Anritsu MW9076B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MW9076B. 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 MW9076B 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.
