The Anritsu MW90010B Coherent OTDR (C-OTDR) features a high dynamic range and short resolution, enabling the precise detection of both repeater and cable faults without relying on repeater commands. When integrated with Ciena’s PinPoint application within the Navigator Network Control Suite™, it delivers real-time, in-service monitoring. As modern submarine cables adopt Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) and increase the number of fiber pairs, this scalable solution—leveraging optical switches—provides cost-effective monitoring without the need for dedicated devices per fiber pair.
