The Anritsu MP0108A NRZ Unit is a modular optical testing module engineered for Non-Return-to-Zero signal format analysis in high-speed digital communications. It operates across three standard bit rates—155.520 Mb/s, 622.080 Mb/s, and 2488.32 Mb/s—and integrates directly into Anritsu signal quality analyzers to deliver precise signal integrity measurements. The unit features FC-PC (SM-F) optical connectors and supports wavelength-selectable operation through associated plug-in modules, making it suitable for SONET, SDH, PDH, and ATM equipment validation across development, manufacturing, and field maintenance environments.

– Compatibility & Integration
The MP0108A installs as a module within the Anritsu MP1570A Signal Quality Analyzer (supporting 1.5 Mbps to 10 Gbps) and MP1552B analyzer. Wavelength-specific operation requires corresponding plug-in units. The module integrates with MP0121A and MP0122A/B units for extended bit rate and signal mapping configurations.
