This unit
The Anritsu MW9076J is a field-deployable Optical Time Domain Reflectometer engineered for fiber characterization, fault detection, and maintenance across installation and operational lifecycles. It delivers fast trace acquisition with a 30 dB typical dynamic range, supporting both 0.85 µm and 1.3 µm wavelengths on graded-index fiber. The instrument acquires complete waveforms in 10 seconds during Full-Auto mode and performs real-time sweeps in 0.1 to 0.2 seconds or less, enabling rapid field diagnostics.
Technical Specifications
- Wavelengths: 0.85 µm and 1.3 µm
- Dynamic Range: 30 dB typical (62.5 µm GI fiber); reduces ~3.0 dB on 50/125 µm GI fiber
- Pulse Width: 100 ns (0.85 µm), 1 µs (1.3 µm); automatic detection and display
- Distance Accuracy: ±1 m ±3 × 10⁻⁵ × measurement distance ±marker resolution
- Loss Accuracy (Linearity): ±0.05 dB/dB or ±0.1 dB (greater value applies)
- Return Loss Accuracy: ±2 dB
- Measurement Time (Full Auto): Up to 60 seconds; waveform display in 10 seconds
- Real-time Sweep: 0.1–0.2 seconds or less
- Detected Events: Up to 99 per trace
- Memory: Approximately 18 MB internal storage
- Fiber Support: Graded-index, 62.5 µm core, NA 0.275 ± 0.015
Key Features
- Automatic measurement of distance range, pulse width, and averaging count
- Full-Auto and Auto modes for hands-free fault location
- Connection quality check and communication light detection
- Waveform storage in Bellcore SOR (GR-196-CORE, SR-4731) or Anritsu SOR format
- Multi-parameter analysis: transmission loss, connection loss, return loss, reflection amount, total return loss, and per-unit-length loss
- Class 1 laser safety (21CFR, IEC 60825-1)
Typical Applications
- Fiber installation acceptance testing
- In-service link troubleshooting and fault location
- Splice and connector loss characterization
- Event detection and return-loss assessment
Compatibility & Integration
- RS-232C serial interface for data transfer to external PC
- Remote command control capability for automated measurement sequences
- Centronics printer interface for hardcopy output
- VGA output terminal support
- Lithium-ion battery pack (6 hours typical operation, 35 W max. power consumption)

Anritsu MW9076J — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MW9076J. 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 MW9076J 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.
