PON Measurement Sets for Telecom Certification

Technicians who work on Deutsche Telekom's FTTH network must certify the lines in accordance with the provider’s ZTV43 regulations. The PON measuring devices used must also comply with this standard. Using a standardized smartphone app, even non-fiber optic experts can use it to perform quick pass/fail analyses.

DTAG Test Kit OLP-88S

Inexpensive measuring device for the broadband expansion of Deutsche Telekom – ZTV 43 compliant.

PON Measuring Devices for ZTV-43 Certification

The OLP-88S was developed by Viavi Solutions especially for measurements and validations concerning Deutsche Telekom’s passive fiber optic network.

With the help of DTAG’s smartphone app, a workflow-controlled pass/fail analysis can be carried out quickly using the PON measurement set based on predefined test scenarios and threshold values. The measurement protocol is generated automatically by the software. In this way, even non-optical fiber experts can quickly perform an acceptance measurement according to the specifications of ZTV-43.

Thanks to TruePON’s GPON data analysis in combination with a measurement at 1490 nm, optical insertion loss can be measured during network operation and all optical line terminals (OLTs) currently connected can be identified. This guarantees that the right optical fiber with the right attenuation is available for each ONT.

SmartPocket OLP-37 – RfoG and PON Power Meter

The SmartPocket OLP-37 from Viavi Solutions is designed for wavelength-selective optical power measurements during activation and maintenance of Passive Optical Networks (PON) and Radio Frequency over Glass Networks (RFoG). It allows pass/fail testing according to ITU-T G.983/4 or IEEE 802.3ah in B-PON, E-PON or G-PON networks. RFoG systems are tested according to SCTE 174 2010. In addition, the device also supports analyses according to user-defined specifications.
With only four keys, the robust measuring instrument can be operated easily and intuitively without extensive training.
