MU150001A vs MU150001B: The A version is a short‑haul transmitter (~2 km), while the B version is long‑haul (~40 km). Both operate at 1550 nm with –4 dBm output.
System Role: Provides optical transmission capability for SONET/SDH/ATM testing at 10G and 2.5G.
Complementary Modules: Typically paired with MU150002A optical Rx units or MU150000A electrical interface for complete Tx/Rx testing.
Summary
The Anritsu MU150001A 1.55 µm Optical Tx Unit is a 10G/2.5G optical transmitter plug‑in for the MP1570A analyzer. It delivers –4 dBm optical output at 1550 nm, supports OC‑192/STM‑64 and OC‑48/STM‑16 rates, and integrates via SMA electrical inputs. It is designed for short‑haul optical transmission (~2 km), with the MU150001B variant extending reach to ~40 km.
