EXFO FTB-2 Pro w/ FTB-5700-PMD PMD Analyzer

EXFO FTB-2 Pro 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-5700-PMD Dispersion Module

The Only Single-Ended PMD Analyzer on the Market


PMD is a real threat to both legacy and newly deployed networks. And as high-speed services—namely 10 Gbit/s—are being massively deployed, PMD awareness continues to grow. Whether you need to assess the PMD level of legacy fiber or perform network maintenance, EXFO’s FTB-5700 PMD Analyzer FTB-5700 is fast, reliable and ready to go.

PMD is an average of delay values over a given wavelength range and state of polarization. The FTB-5700 being tunable, over 200 wavelength pairs are acquired, all at different states of polarization. Each pair provides a delay point.

For even higher accuracy, you can launch multiple scans and perform an averaging of all test results.

A Highly Intuitive User Interface with No Setup Required
Featuring easy-to-read pass/fail results and providing a view of all key parameters and values on one screen, the FTB-5700’s user interface is all about field testing simplicity and efficiency.

Features:

• Single-ended PMD measurements
• The advantage of one: complete dispersion analysis with a single module, a single connector and a one-step test setup
• Unparalleled software user-friendliness: all automated
• Testing range: up to 120km
