PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Future-Ready Fiber Characterization for Hollow Core and High-Speed Networks

The OneAdvisor 800 delivers portability and advanced fibre characterisation in one scalable platform — ideal for medium-distance links in high-speed and hollow core networks. Its Linux-based design supports a full suite of capabilities including OTDR, OLTS, CD, PMD, and Attenuation Profile, with seamless expansion to high-speed Ethernet and DWDM spectrum analysis as network requirements grow. Paired with the 4136C OTDR module, engineers benefit from an integrated light source and power meter, achieving fast, reliable certification of metro, access, and data centre interconnect links with reduced re-work and improved on-site efficiency.

Key Benefits

• All-in-One Fibre Characterisation
  Comprehensive testing — OTDR, OLTS, CD, PMD, and AP — delivered on a scalable Linux-based platform for consistent workflows across metro, access, and data centre links.
• Optimised for Hollow Core Fibre
  Advanced characterisation methods provide accurate validation where OTDR-only approaches struggle, ensuring reliable HCF performance over medium distances.
• FiberComplete™ Efficiency
  With the 4100C OTDR module integrating a light source and power meter, technicians benefit from faster set-up, streamlined OLTS/OTDR workflows, and reduced re-work in the field.
• End-to-End Quality Assurance
  Confirm transmission wavelength ranges and identify issues such as water-vapour (OH-) absorption, ensuring the fiber is deployment-ready.
• Future-Proof Investment
  Expand to high-speed Ethernet and DWDM spectrum testing — no need to replace the platform as networks evolve.

Advanced Test Capabilities

• Expert OTDR with Lock Marker
  Greater trace depth and repeatable component location ensure consistent results across all fibres.
• Chromatic & Polarisation Mode Dispersion (CD/PMD)
  Fast, predictable testing — less than 2 minutes per fibre, even on low-dispersion high-speed links.
• Attenuation Profile (AP)
  Industry-unique field capability to measure spectral attenuation performance, detect variances, and validate the effective wavelength range — critical for HCF.
• Bidirectional HCF Loss Analysis with ReportPRO
  Aligns OTDR traces from both ends to deliver the true loss profile, eliminating errors caused by HCF backscatter variations and flagging splices requiring attention.

High-Performance Medium-Range HCF Testing

Optimised for medium-distance hollow core fibre deployments, the 4100C OTDR module delivers the accuracy needed for validating metro, access, and data centre interconnect links. With an embedded light source and power meter through FiberComplete™, it streamlines both OTDR and bi-directional loss testing — reducing test steps and improving installation efficiency. When paired with VIAVI’s dispersion and attenuation profile capabilities, teams can perform full fibre characterisation in the field — including Chromatic Dispersion (CD), Polarisation Mode Dispersion (PMD), and Attenuation Profile (AP) testing. This confirms the true performance of the transmission windows and detects issues such as humidity-related absorption (OH-) that can impact hollow core operation. Compliant with IEC, ITU-T, and TIA standards, this approach ensures fast, repeatable measurements for modern high-speed networks — enabling assured medium-range fibre certification from day one.
