Description

The FTBx-735C has been designed to test FTTH/PON networks and longer links in the metro range. This OTDR has 42 dB of dynamic range to test up to 150 km of optical fiber. The PON-optimized performances of the FTBx-735C enable it to fully characterize links up to a 1:128 FTTH/PON splitter ratio.

With its high dynamic range, the FTBx-735C empowers technicians to test optical fibers with greater speed and accuracy.

The FTBx-735C advantage

  • The industry’s highest resolution for PON testing and the shortest PON dead zone to detect more problems closer to the splitter.
  • High resolution for maximum fiber characterization on long links up to 150 km. Ideal to support bidirectional testing.
