OTDR modules are housed in EXFO’s rugged
field-testing platforms.
Today’s telecom market imposes test challenges that stem from a never-before-seen 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 (PO Ns) 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 multiplewavelength 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-4 00 Universal Test
System and the compact FTB-100B Mini-OTDR.
EXFO’s OTDR modules deliver smooth performance both in inside-plant and outside-plant applications.
The New FTB-7000D OTDR:
Designed for Metro, Access and FTTH Test Applications
FTB-7000B/FTB-7000D/FTB-70000C
The Shortest Dead Zones in the Industry
EXFO’s FTB-7000D helps you boost test productivity for inside-plant applications. Its exceptional 1 m event dead zone enables you to easily locate and characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office’s fiber distribution panel. This feature also comes in handy in metro, access and FTTH network
applications, where events are usually closely spaced.
Faster Trace Acquisition
The FTB-7000D features a highly optimized, lightning-fast trace acquisition routine: full averaging is performed in 45 seconds—four times faster than
the industry standard averaging time of three minutes. When installing
or troubleshooting metro networks, the FTB-7000D therefore reduces the
three-wavelength testing time for a typical 288-fiber cable from more than 43
hours to less than 11 hours, also minimizing testing costs.
Optimizing Passive Optical Network (PON) Testing
Designed to meet the testing requirements brought by FTTH networks in general,
and PONs in particular, the FTB-7000D enables testing at 1310, 1490 and 1550
nm. What’s more, EXFO’s next-generation OTDR software lets you test through
high-port-count splitters—even 1x32 splitters—with loss levels of over 16 dB.
Delivering Higher Accuracy for Event Location
Thanks to high-efficiency technical features, the FTB-7000D locates events with
pinpoint accuracy:
• Up to 128 000 sampling points for higher trace resolution
• Sampling resolution down to 4 cm, for ultra-accurate fault location
• Better linearity—down to ± 0.03 dB/dB—for more accurate event
characterization
The FTB-7000D OTDR’s market-leading dead zone allows the full
characterization of a typical tie-cable—as short as five meters—with
UPC connectors (reflectance below -55 dB).
EXFO’s FTB-7000D OTDR easily tests through high-port-count splitters with high loss levels.
