EXFO FTB-2 Platform
OPTICAL PLUG-AND-PLAY OPTIONS
The platform features optical plug-and-play options that can be purchased whenever you need them: at the time of your order or later on. In either case, installation is a snap and can be performed by the user without the need for any software update.
Optical Power Meter
A high-level power meter (GeX) that can measure up to 27 dBm, the highest in the industry. This is essential for hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks or high-power signals. If used with an auto-lambda/auto-switching compatible light source, the power meter automatically syncs on the same wavelength, thus avoiding any risk of mismatched measurement.
- Extensive range of connectors
- Auto-lambda and auto-switching
- Offers measurement storage and reporting
- Choice of seven standard or coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM)-calibrated wavelengths
Visual Fault Locator (VFL)
The plug-and-play VFL easily identifies breaks, bends, faulty connectors and splices, in addition to other causes of signal loss. This basic, yet essential, troubleshooting tool should be part of every field technician's toolbox. The VFL visually locates and detects faults over distances of up to 5 km by creating a bright-red glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode fibers (available with the Optical Power Meter only).

EXFO FTB-5230S Optical Spectrum Analyzer Module
FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE
The FTB-5230S is an entry-level optical spectrum analyzer that is ideal for a variety of field applications, including DWDM and CWDM network commissioning and troubleshooting. It includes all the typical OSA capabilities:
- Power and wavelength measurements
- WDM and drift mode
- OSNR testing according to IEC 61280-2-9 (interpolation method)
- Offline post-processing
Users can quickly learn to operate the FTB-5230S because it features an intuitive Windows XP-based interface. The FTB-5230S can also handle a lot of power, up to 23 dBm per channel, ideal for modern cable operator networks.
AN ATTRACTIVE OSA ALTERNATIVE
The FTB-5230S-OCA (optical channel analyzer) a is a perfect compromise between an OSA and a channel analyzer. Integrating the best of both product types, this tool offers the most important spectrum analysis capabilities (power and central wavelength measurements), as well as high-power measurements up to 23 dBm per channel, for the price of an advanced channel analyzer. Designed for simplicity in the field, it keeps settings to a minimum. It has also been optimized for a number of multi-wavelength applications (DWDM, CWDM, DWDM over CWDM and CFP power measurements).
THE OPTICAL CHANNEL ANALYZER: A CABLE OPERATOR’S BEST FRIEND
Cable operators are not just rolling out CWDM and DWDM, they are deploying hybrid networks, where DWDM wavelengths are overlaid onto CWDM wavelengths. Until now, cable operators either had to rely on OSAs to perform the spectral analysis of these hybrid networks, a pricier option, or on a combination CWDM/DWDM channel analyzer, an inconvenient and cumbersome option. With EXFO’s new optical channel analyzer, operators can address all these applications in a single product.
CFP POWER MEASUREMENT WITH THE OCA
100 GigE deployments are rapidly becoming commonplace, triggering a transition from 10G and lower rate service (SFP/SFP+/ XFP) to 40G/100G using CFPs (C form-factor pluggables). This is in turn leading to multi-wavelength client-side communications instead of single-wavelength transmissions. Since CFPs have longer reaches (up to 10 km for LR4), meeting the loss budget is more challenging than ever before. Moreover, CFP lasers are aging and need to be replaced. All these trends are calling for CFP power measurements at the network element, where the client-side signals are converted to line-side signals. The OCA is the ideal solution for this because it features built-in configurations for 40GBase-LR4 and 100GBase-LR4/LR10 CFPs, ensuring quick and reliable power measurements at the touch of a button.
