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.

ToolBox OTDR Software:
New Features That Boost Productivity

FTB-7000B/FTB-7000D/FTB-70000C

Bidirectional analysis: take acquisitions
from both fiber ends to obtain loss
averages for each fiber event. Collect
essential data for today’s tighter loss
budgets.

Multiple-Trace Comparison

Multiple-trace viewing lets you quickly compare traces and
detect anomalies within fibers of a tube, a ribbon or even a
whole cable.

Time Savers from ToolBox OTDR Software

Define the Pass/Warning/Fail thresh­olds for ribbon and multifiber validation
to meet your specifications.

Smooth data management: file auton­aming utility with subset cable and
fiber incrementation.

Fast-Track Your Cable Reports

FTB-7000B/FTB-7000D/FTB-70000C

Accelerate OTDR data post-processing with specialized ToolBox software. For high-fiber-count projects, two key ToolBox 6 utilities—the batch processor
and cable report generator—can cut OTDR post-processing time by up to 90 %. Install ToolBox software on your office PC for convenient data post-pro­cessing.

Create complete cable reports easily. Replace hundreds of single-fiber test printouts with a single report, facilitating and speeding up data management
on high-fiber-count projects. Get statistics automatically, per event and per fiber. Generate average and maximum values for all the fibers of a cable or for
a test session. Print reports with end-to-end or bidirectional OTDR data based on single or multiple wavelengths and include results on event reflectance,
ORL and macrobends with this powerful utility.
