The Agilent/Keysight J1407A OmniBER 720 Communications Performance Analyzer is a field-portable instrument for SONET/SDH and DWDM transmission system testing up to 2.5 Gb/s (OC-48/STM-16). Purpose-built for bit error rate (BER) analysis of optical tributaries, it delivers the overhead visibility and error characterization needed across installation, commissioning, maintenance, and system verification workflows.
– Technical Specifications
Data Rate Coverage: Multi-rate support from OC-1 to OC-48 and STM-0 to STM-16. Bulk payload testing from STS-48c/STM-16c down to VT 1.5/TU-11 granularity.
Overhead & Alarm Functions: Complete SONET/SDH overhead setup and monitoring with text decode of sync status (S1), APS messaging (K1K2), and signal labels (C2, V5). Built-in error and alarm generation/measurement plus dedicated SONET/SDH alarm scan.
Path & Section Testing: J0 section trace for DWDM verification. J1 and J2 path trace capabilities for network path analysis. Pointer adjustments aligned to Telcordia GR-253 and ITU-T G.783 standards.
Optical Measurements: Optical power and line frequency measurement. Line frequency offset characterization.
Advanced Capabilities: Thru-mode testing for SONET/SDH ring turn-up. Automatic discovery of all received payload channels. SmartTest rapid-access interface to primary measurement functions.
