Description
The Exfo WA-7100 Optical Channel Analyzer is a cost-effective solution for analyzing dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. Employing a proven scanning Michelson interferometer design, it accurately measures the absolute wavelength, power, and OSNR (Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of multiplexed optical channels. This comprehensive analysis ensures proper performance and channel spacing within DWDM systems, which are crucial for high-capacity data transmission. The WA-7100 boasts a high guaranteed absolute wavelength accuracy of ±1.5 ppm (parts per million), sufficient for most DWDM applications. It offers a wide spectral resolution of 30 pm, enabling clear distinction between closely spaced DWDM channels, particularly relevant for current 100 GHz and 50 GHz channel spacing, and potentially future 25 GHz deployments. Additionally, the WA-7100 presents the complete optical spectrum on a user-friendly display, providing a clear visual representation of channel distribution and power levels. This combination of accuracy, resolution, and informative display makes the Exfo WA-7100 a valuable tool for technicians and engineers installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting DWDM networks.
