II-VI Incorporated Unveils Pluggable OTDR for Embedded Network Monitoring

摘要

II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ:IIVI), a leading provider of solutions for next generation optical networks today unveiled its pluggable Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) for embedded network monitoring applications in carrier and data center networks. According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the worldwide use of embedded OTDR modules is forecast to achieve significant growth over the next five years. The pluggable OTDR fills the need for improved operational efficiency from carriers and data center operators. The full realization of software defined networking requires the characterization and continuous monitoring of the fiber plant. The II-VI pluggable OTDR is a compact device with standard interfaces and powered by complex digital processing to analyze data in real time. Equipment manufacturers can now monitor data on fiber plant quality both at system start-up and during operation to ensure that decision making is based on optimum information when and where it is needed.
