CWDM Optical Channel Checker
This quick card describes how to connect to a fiber under test, configure CWDM Optical
Channel Checker (OCC) test setups, run tests, and analyze results with a T-BERD/MTS-
5800 equipped with a COSA-4055 module.
Note: The COSA module is used to monitor wavelengths on a live network.
Care should be exercised when unplugging fibers from the network as the
fibers may be carrying traffic.
► T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
► Fiber Optics Software Release V21.0 or
greater
► COSA-4055 CWDM OCC Module
► Fiber optic cleaning and inspection tools
► 20-meter Fiber optic patch cable (Launch
Cable)
► Optical Coupler to connect Launch Cable to

► Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe
microscope to inspect both sides of every
connection being used (OCC Port, Launch
Cable, bulkhead connectors, patch cables, etc.)
