CMA5000 Multi-Layer Network Test and Measurement Platform
Test Gigabit Ethernet, DWDM, SONET, OTDR, ORL, Fibre Channel, PMD and CD all with
the same easy to use multi-layer test platform.
NetTest's CMA5000 is the premier test and measurement solution for installing,
commissioning and documenting fiber optic networks. Utilizing a common
platform, the CMA5000 provides complete testing for multiple network layers all
at the touch of a single button. As a high performance, scalable solution, the
CMA5000 aids in accelerating the deployment of new services and optimizing
network performance, while reducing the cost of measurement.
With its ability to span the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers
with test and measurement applications ranging from DWDM, SONET/SDH, Gigabit
Ethernet, OTDR and Dispersion, the CMA5000 is the ideal solution for any
scenario.
With its PC based, open architecture design and common computer interface, the
CMA5000 is able to easily remain up-to-date with the latest applications
necessary to install and maintain current and evolving telecommunication
networks. Numerous test technologies have been incorporated into an expandable
platform allowing a single unit to adapt and evolve to meet any testing need.
Thus the CMA provides best-in-class performance for every testing application
to dramatically decrease testing time, further reducing the cost of
measurement. The CMA5000 is also designed to maximize network performance
and accelerate the deployment of new services. The CMA5000 allows you to
quickly and easily characterize critical network parameters and diagnose
network impairments. Network performance and reliability can quickly be
documented to accelerate the deployment of new services. As the leader in
optical fiber and network characterization, the CMA5000 offers all of the test
applications required for comprehensive physical layer characterization,
including: OTDR, Chromatic Dispersion, Polarization Mode Dispersion, Loss Test
Set and Optical Return Loss, Supplemental tools such as a Visual Fault Locator,
integrated Talk Set and Video Inspection Probe are also available for a
complete testing solution.
For characterizing and documenting performance levels, the CMA5000's Optical
Transport Analysis (OTA) application provides efficient, reliable testing of a
multitude of parameters, including Alarm and Error Analysis, APS with 125 us
resolution, Round Trip Delay measurement with 100 ns resolution and network
availability and performance evaluation. The OTA application characterizes
networks supplying PDH/T-carriers to SONET/SDH up to 10 Gb/s. The OTA's
Troublescan features automatically detect problems, allowing network
impairments to be identified and rectified quickly.
The CMA5000 Gigabit Ethernet application measures critical parameters during
network installation, including throughput, latency, burstability and frame
loss, (as detailed in RFC 2544) to ensure proper and efficient deployment of
services. For troubleshooting, the Channel Statistics option for the CMA5000
allows the user to quickly identify the root cause of network impairments, not
just the symptoms. The Channel Statistics option presents detailed statistics
on all traffic received for up to 8,000 individual Ethernet or IP addresses,
VLAN tags or MPLS labels. When combined with comprehensive, professional
reporting, these features allow you to install, maintain, troubleshoot and
document 10/100/1000 Mbps based Ethernet networks. To learn more about the
CMA5000 Gigabit Ethernet application, please click here.
The CMA5000 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) application reduces the
time to install, commission and maintain fiber spans. Featuring a multitude of
available wavelengths, up to 50 dB of dynamic range and deadzones as small as
1.0 meter, the OTDR application is the ideal solution for testing long-haul
backbone networks, Metropolitan Optical Networks (MON) and FTTP deployments
that incorporate Passive Optical Networks (PON). To learn more about the
CMA5000 OTDR application, please click here.
The CMA5000 Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) application characterizes the
data rate capability of each fiber quickly identifying which fibers are capable
of providing higher data rates and increased revenue potential.
The CMA5000 Chromatic Dispersion application provides accurate CD
characterization to maximize bandwidth. This application quickly measures the
chromatic dispersion, chromatic dispersion slope and the zero-dispersion
wavelength of any fiber type to allow optimized compensation.
