EXFO FTB‑1 Fiber Optic Tester OTDR, Wavelengths 1310/1550/1625nm, Dynamic Range 37/38/39dB
Introduction
Designed to meet testing requirements brought by FTTH networks in general, and PONs/MDUs in particular, the FTB-730 enables testing at 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625/1650 nm. What's more, EXFO's next-generation OTDR software lets you test through high-port-counter splitters—even 1x64 splitters—with loss levels of up to 21 dB.
Key Features
Test through high-port-count splitters (up to 1x128)
Singlemode port for in-service troubleshooting with standard in-line OPM
Dynamic range of up to 39 dB
Short acquisition time to speed up deployment process
EXFO Connect-compatible: automated asset management; data goes through the cloud and into a dynamic database
iOLM-ready: one-touch multiple acquisitions, with clear go/no-go results presented in a straightforward visual format
Applications
FTTx/MDU test challenges within PON networks
Access network testing
