The JDS Uniphase T-BERD 6000A (TB6000A) is a modular test platform engineered for network testing across installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting phases. It supports OTN, SONET/SDH, DSn/PDH, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet technologies, spanning metro core to long-haul and FTTx deployments. The platform delivers field-ready operation through a large color touchscreen, cloud integration, and remote access capabilities.
