Full-rate support from 1G to 800G
FTBx-88810 Series - complete lab-to-field testing, 1G-800G and 800ZR
Overview
Full-rate coverage from 1G to 800G—supporting Ethernet, OTN, Fibre Channel and coherent optics (including 800ZR). Built for the Coherent Future.
Test everything. Miss nothing.
Ultra-compact portable tester for coherent optics including 800ZR, 400ZR, OpenZR+ (400/300/200/100ZR+), and 100GBASE-ZR (QSFP28).
Multi-rate validation from 1G to 800G on a single unit with breakout options: 2×400GE, 4×200GE, 8×100GE, 2×200G, 4×100G.
Dual-port, dual-form factor support (QSFP-DD and OSFP) including 800G and 800ZR—only portable tester to offer both, on the FTB-4 Pro platform.
Flexible OTS design—open transceiver system futureproofed for evolving transceiver standards.
iOptics support for rapid coherent transceiver validation and optical sanity checks.
Comprehensive Fibre Channel testing from 1G to 64G to validate switch and transceiver readiness.
Full OTN BERT coverage (ODU0, OTU1–OTU4, 4×OTU4 with overclock), including multistage mapping and GCC testing.
800G copper interface validation, including auto-negotiation, link training, and ETC/IEEE compliance.
Go ahead, put 800ZR and the coherent ecosystem to the test!
Be ready for deployment with reliable test solutions that put 1G to 800G and coherent technologies to the test by accurately simulating real-world conditions. Make sure components and equipment are compliant with the latest industry standards, are live-network ready and 800GE interoperable.
Transceiver and cable developers need robust validation tools to ensure compliance and performance before and after mass production. Validating both grey and coherent optics requires advanced capabilities like breakout configurations (e.g., 2×400G, 4×200G, 8×100G), pre-emphasis adjustment, auto-negotiation, link training, and dual-port testing.
As part of the second wave of 800G technology, transceivers are incorporating more advanced features, driving the need for broader rate support—from 1G, 10G, 40G, 50G, and 100G up to 800G—as well as compatibility with protocols such as OTN and Fibre Channel.
EXFO’s FTBx-88810 Series delivers comprehensive transceiver validation across all rates—from 1G,10G to 800G—with protocol support for Ethernet, OTN, and Fibre Channel.
Support for 800ZR and the full suite of coherent optics
Coherent transceivers have become indispensable in long-haul data center and metro applications. Amidst the rapid pace of technological progress, coherent optics are also advancing, exemplified recently by the significant leap to 800ZR. This transition represents a crucial milestone in the development of high-speed communication networks, offering unprecedented levels of bandwidth and performance. EXFO’s FTBx-88810 is the first portable test solution to support 800ZR, as well as the full suite of coherent optics like 400ZR, 100ZR and Open ZR+.

Supporting multiple protocols
800G technology has entered its second, more mature, wave. Transceivers and switches are more stable and reliable, setting the stage for a new era of innovation—enabling more integrated, application-driven network solutions and supporting a broader range of protocols and features.
EXFO’s FTBx-88810 Series is built to match the pace of this evolution. Going beyond Ethernet, it offers robust, high-fidelity validation for advanced transport protocols like OTN and Fibre Channel. Equipping and empowering customers to confidently test and deploy real-world, multi-protocol applications with precision and performance.
OSFP and QSFP-DD test ports
The FTBx-88810 Series offers a mix of OSFP and QSFP-DD test ports.
- Need to test OSFP and QSFP? Then your choice is the FTBx-88811, featuring 1x OSFP port and 1x QSFP-DD port.
- Need to test only QSFP-DD? Then choose the FTBx-88810 with its 2x QSFP-DD ports.
Pair either test module with the latest FTB-1 Pro and get the flexibility of a truly portable 800G test solution. Whichever test module you choose, we’ve got the network test solution that best fits your lab’s 800G testing requirements.
