FTBx-570 - Single-ended dispersion analyzer

Overview
Industry’s only solution for fast single-ended CD/PMD testing.
FTBx-570 - Single-ended dispersion analyzer

Key features

  • Single-ended testing efficiency: Conduct CD/PMD tests on multiple links from a single location, minimizing truck rolls and reducing operational expenses.
  • Rapid and accurate: CD and PMD results in under 30 seconds.
  • Connectivity: Leverage cloud-hosted capabilities for job management and reporting with EXFO Exchange and ensure operational compliance across teams.
  • Extensive band coverage: Test O band and SCL bands.
  • Compact and portable: Housed in the FTB-1 V2 Pro, FTB-2 Pro and FTB-4 Pro for ultra portability.
  • Standards compliance: Adhere to industry standards (e.g., ITU-T G.650.3, EIA/TIA FOTP-175B, EIA/TIA FOTP-243 and IEC 61282-9).

Applications

  • Qualification up to 400G/800G and beyond
  • Metro, core, DCI and cellular/mobile xhaul network testing
  • Fully compliant fiber characterization (with OLTS and OTDR)
  • Polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
  • Chromatic Dispersion (CD)
