Introducing the OCC-4056C module
Fig. 1 OCC-4056C module
The OCC-4056C is VIAVI’s new generation of DWDM analyzer
modules. It scans the full C-band wavelength range between 1528 and
1568 nm for commissioning, upgrade, and trouble shooting of DWDM
networks. The OCC-4056C offers the functionality and speed of an
optical spectrum analyzer in a handheld form at a fraction of the price
of an OSA. The measurement result is displayed in a graphical (trace)
and numerical (table) format providing detailed information of the power
level and the wavelength of DWDM channels.
BN 2331/12
NOTE
The OCC-4056C is compatible with
T-BERD/MTS Version 2 only!

Safety information
SFP slots The OCC-4056C offers 2 integrated SFP slots for mounting up to2SFP
transceivermodules or tunable lasers(tobe orderedseparately).These
SFP+ modules can be used as a DWDM stimulus to check DWDM
networks together with the DWDM analyzer.
In order to activate the these SFP+ Slots, the tunable SFP SW-option
2331/94.01 needs to be installed. An activated transceiver module
connected to the SFP+ slot emits optical radiation at the output “TX”. The
input “RX” of the transceiver module has no function. The optical laser
radiation is indicated by LEDs assigned to the SFP slots. The SFP
modules are hot pluggable and can be changed during operation of the
OCC-4056C.

CAUTION
To find out the appropriate laser classification, associated wavelengths
and optical power levels, see:
–the label on the SFP module
–the “Specifications” chapter in the operating manual of the SFP
In accordance with the laser classification, read and follow the
instructions given in the laser safety warnings below.
Laser classification of the SFP transceiver in the SFP slot
SFP laser classification
Use only class 1 laser products in the SFP slots.
However, theuser is freeto use any other SFP transceiver compatible
with the SFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA).
In this case you must observe the laser classification of the
inserted SFP transceiver and its safety instructions!
Invisible laser radiation
Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to eyes and skin.
Follow the laser safety regulations that apply in your area.
Take note of the laser classification of the individual test module.
Take note of the laser classification or hazard level of the device
under test.
Make sure that you protect yourself and others from exposure to
laser radiation.
Never look into optical outputs of devices or into the plug end
surfaces (free ends) of optical fibers.
Always cover disconnected optical plugs or disconnected optical
cable connectors with protective caps.
Always switch off the instrument and disconnect it from any fiber
optic cables before inspecting or cleaning the optical cable
connectors.
Make sure that the fiber optic cables are disconnected from all
sources of radiation before they are cleaned or inspected and
ensure that they are not reconnected until cleaning or inspection
has been completed.

Optical
surfaces Dust and fingerprints can damage optical surfaces, particularly when
such surfaces are pressed together. To protect the instrument and
cables, every cable should be cleaned before it is connected to the
instrument. The optical connectors on the instrument should also be
cleaned regularly.
–Before cleaning the optical surfaces please pay attention to the
notes on safe handling of fiber optical cables and optical
connectors.
–Toclean the optical connectors, remove the test adapters, dab the
end surfaces of the plug pins with cleaning tape and blow out the
test adapter using compressed air.
–Always fit protective caps to optical connectors that are not in use.

operation Please refer to the Base Unit user manual for further information.
Invisible laser radiation
Class 1 laser products are defined as safe in normal operation under
reasonably foreseeable conditions.
Although the laser radiation from a class 1 laser product will not
harm eyes or skin, follow the general laser safety instructions (see
General laser safety instructions) to ensure maximum safety
when working with laser sources.
Invisible laser radiation
Viewing the laser output of a class 1M laser product with certain
optical instruments (for example eye loupes, magnifiers,
microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard.
Do not expose eyes to the beam within a distance of 100 mm.
Do not view the laser output with optical instruments.
Follow the general laser safety instructions.

Grid The grid serves as a detection reference: it must
therefore be ITU CWDM or Manual. The choice of
grid takes priority over the choice
Channel detection. For example, it is not possible to
choose Channel detection = Grid, if the option
selected for the grid is «None» or «Conventional».
Permanent Automatic detection of the channel on each
acquisition. In this mode the channels are always
detected without making a referencemeasurement.
1. Attention: All modification of these parameters has immediate repercussions on the trace and entails the loss of
the measurement statistics.
NOTE
Those parameters are only linked to the current active fiber.

compensation When the measurement is accessed by a splitter, it is possible to
compensate for the loss introduced by this element and to display the
value measured before or after it.
Go to the Splitter compensation line to display a sub-menu proposing
the following options:
Value1 Yes: activation of compensation and choice of its value
using the keys and : or the numeric keypad : from
1 to 30 dB (by increments of 1) or 1 to 99%(by
increments of0.1%).
Unit Choice of compensation in dB or as a percentage of
the value measured.
For example, with a 10 dB splitter, the results will be
augmented by 10 dB. The trace will be offset upwards
by 10 dB. A channel measured at -30 dBm will be
displayed -20 dBm.
NOTE
At the end of an acquisition in permanent mode, it is possible to
create a grid on the basis of the channels detected. To do this, press
the softkey Adopt Grid in the SETUP menu.
NOTE
Modification of the parameters Channel selection and Signal
threshold will only modify the results if the WDM module present is
the one that was used for the acquisition.
