The FTB-100 Mini-OTDR is a dedicated optical time domain reflectometer that
characterizes a fiber-optic span, usually optical fiber sections joined by
splices and connectors. The optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) provides an
inside view of the fiber, and can calculate fiber length, attenuation, breaks,
total return loss, and splice, connector and total losses.
The FTB-100 Mini-OTDR supports EXFO’s extensive line of OTDR test modules,
which offers all the features required by both intensive and occasional OTDR
users.
The Mini-OTDR:
- offers impressive dynamic range with short dead zones.
- performs quick acquisitions with low noise levels to ensure
accuracy.
Low-Loss Splice Location:
- acquire OTDR traces made of up to 128 000 points that provide a sampling
resolution as fine as 4 cm.
- include a light source and can also include an (OPTIONAL) visual fault
locator.
The Mini-OTDR:
- can include an (OPTIONAL) power meter for more test possibilities.
- is available with a color or monochrome touchscreen.
- is splashproof and rugged for outside plant testing.
Trace Acquisition Modes:
- (The OTDR application provides the following trace acquisition
modes:)
Auto:
- Automatically calculates fiber length, sets acquisition parameters,
acquires traces, and displays event tables and acquiredtraces.
Advanced:
- Offers all the tools needed to perform integral OTDR tests and
measurements and gives you control over all test parameters.
Create Ref./Template:
- Tests fibers and compares the results to a reference trace that was
previously acquired and analyzed. This allows you to save time when testing a
large number of fibers. Reference trace documentation is also automatically
copied to new acquisitions
EXFO FTB-7212B-C-EI
Today’s telecom market imposes test challenges that stem from a
never-beforeseen variety of fiber-optic networks. Ultra-long-haul,
high-fiber-count 10 Gb/s and high-speed DWDM networks. CWDM and 2.5 Gb/s
metropolitan networks. Passive optical networks (PONs) and other types of access
networks. All of these create increasingly specific and demanding testing
requirements, making OTDRs more essential than ever for installing, maintaining
and troubleshooting networks.
EXFO’s OTDRs deliver the right tools for accurately detecting and
characterizing splices, connectors, splitters, breaks and other events along a
fiber link. The FTB-7000B provides a wide choice of configurations to
conveniently test all types of networks. The FTB-7000D and FTB-70000C enables
multiple-wavelength testing by combining triple-wavelength capability in a
single module. Plus, the FTB-7000D offers extremely short dead zones—perfect for
short-distance applications—and faster-than-ever acquisitions.
EXFO’s OTDR modules meet all your testing needs with numerous singlemode and
multimode configurations available at several wavelengths. Most important, they
are field-interchangeable and compatible with both of EXFO's rugged, portable
test platforms, the powerful FTB-400 Universal Test System and the compact
FTB-100B Mini-OTDR.
