Built for the supertech Testing today’s networks requires a supertech. EXFO understands that technicians need to span various mediums, layers and technologies. With this reality in mind, EXFO designed the FTB-200 Compact Platform for multilayer, multimedium testing.
Testing metro/access and FTTx networks The FTB-200 was designed for supertechs in the field that perform tests on optical and copper for metro/access and FTTx networks. This task requires a compact platform optimized for time-efficient automated tests and in-depth troubleshooting and analysis. The FTB-200 is ideal for testing
- Construction/installation
- System provisioning/service activation
- Maintenance/troubleshooting
Adapting through modularity
A vital strength of the supertech lies in the resources at hand and ability to adapt quickly. The FTB-200 has an open architecture that provides abundant options and excellent adaptability for multimedium and multilayer testing.
The FTB-200 is the most complete compact platform on the market. Equipped with testing applications covering both fiber-optic and copper mediums, supertechs will find that they need only one tool to complete the most important testing and troubleshooting tasks.
Featuring a world-renowned OTDR series
Testing and troubleshooting will be considerably more efficient with the most trusted OTDR in the industry at your reach. EXFO offers over 20 OTDR modules to meet your long-haul, metro/access and FTTx needs. Other features of our OTDR series include:
- Modules that test up to four wavelengths
- Industry’s fastest acquisition times
- FTTx-optimized modules that combine multimode and singlemode network functions
- Shortest dead zones in the industry
Testing physical, transport and datacom layers
Using transport and datacom analyzers, you can test the latest standards of Ethernet and SONET/SDH/OTN networks. The FTB-200 can also be used to test Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet for quality of service (QoS) assurance.
Bringing lightweight robustness to the field
The rugged FTB-200 provides readable results on your screen whether you are testing indoors under artificial light, or testing outdoors with the sun shining directly on your screen. Other features include:
- Lightweight construction (2.2 kg with standard features)
- Touchscreen resistant to shock, water, dust and common chemicals
- Dial and shortkeys for easy scrolling and selecting
- Rugged design meeting GR-196-CORE requirements
