EXFO FTB-500 OTDR

The result of over 10 years of proven leadership in multimodular test  platforms, the FTB-500 a whole new spectrum of network testing possibilities, a   whole new testing paradigm: more advanced applications, faster setups, test   cycles and reporting, wireless communication and reporting, and universal   compatibility with all EXFO FTB modules, past, present and future.

Designed for network experts, this high-end, highly evolved platform  enables true next-generation network testing.

OTDRs as they should be.

Massive processing power. Mix-and-match flexibility. Right out of   multi-application wonderland.

The FTB-500 platform brings you new, highly advanced applications and pushes   your current ones’ efficiency to new heights. So go ahead: break new grounds,   set new test performance standards, tame new technologies. Benefit from an   all-in-one platform that you can build around your most unique requirements.

 

An OTDR for Fiber Characterization, Ethernet Testing and more.

  • Distributed PMD analysis – Single-ended, span-by-span   measurement of PMD, enabling targeted fiber upgrades and cost-effective   deployment of 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s transmission.
  • Full fiber characterization – PMD, CD and OTDR testing   combined in a single solution, for in-depth fiber characterization. Run   FastReporter post-processing software while performing your acquisitions, for   faster data analysis and report generation—directly on-site.
  • ROADM/POTS and 40 Gbit/s testing
    • Integrated optical and transport testing in a portable solution supporting   OC-768, STM-256, OTU3 as well as true in-band OSNR for ROADMs, 40G transmission   and UDWDM signals.
    • All-in-one transport and datacom configuration supporting:
      • DS0/E0 to OC-768/STM-256
      • OTU1/OTU2/OTU3/OTU1e/OTU2e with FEC
      • 10/100M, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (LAN/WAN)
      • 1x/2x/4x/10x Fibre Channel
      • Next-generation SONET/SDH (GFP, LO/HO VCAT and LCAS)
  • 100 Gbit/s testing applications – The most advanced   hardware, ready for future 100 Gbit/s applications.

Ethernet

The all-new FTB-500 houses any of EXFO’s FTB plug-and-play modules, enabling   you to reconfigure your test solution as your test needs evolve. Combine   physical and optical characterization applications with transport and datacom   test modules covering next-generation 10G, 40G and 100G analysis.

  • Optical test modules: choose from the industry’s most renowned line of OTDRs   and most advanced dispersion analyzers
  • Transport and datacom test modules: discover the most compact and powerful   SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel and Ethernet analyzers—the new standards in   next-generation network testing

Designed for portability. Manageability. Viewability.                                             In short, for   easy-ability.

The field brings its fair share of challenges: hard-to-reach locations, dark   environments, rain, cold, sunlit environments and other conditions that can   complicate your job. Designed to deliver a new level of user-friendliness, the   FTB-500 makes it all much easier.

  • Conveniently located handles and first-class ergonomics, for easy carrying   and operation
  • Angled stance for easier viewing of results
  • Easily accessible ports and stylus

It’s your platform. You control it.                                             Whether you’re on-site or not.

Sometimes, there is just no way around it: you need to be in two places at   the same time, carrying out test cycles on-site, and overseeing the operations   from a remote location. Which is exactly what the FTB-500 enables, using   Windows-based remote desktop capabilities as well as VNC.
