FTB-500

EXFO - FTB-500

With massive processing power and mix-and-match flexibility, the FTB-500 platform is right out of a multi-application wonderland. It brings you new, highly advanced applications and pushes your current ones’ efficiency to new heights. So go ahead: break new ground, set new test performance standards, tame new technologies. Benefit from an all-in-one platform that you can build around your most unique requirements.

FTB-500 8-slot platform
Single-ended, span-by-span measurement of PMD, enabling targeted fiber upgrades and cost-effective deployment of 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s transmission.
PMD, CD and OTDR testing combined in a single solution, for in-depth fiber characterization. Run FastReporter post-processing software while performing your acquisitions, for faster data analysis and report generation - directly on-site.
The most advanced hardware, ready for future 100 Gbit/s applications.
Integrated optical and transport testing in a portable solution supporting OC-768, STM-256, OTU3 as well as true in-band OSNR for ROADMs, 40G transmission and UDWDM signals.
All-in-one transport and datacom configuration supporting:

• DS0/E0 to OC-768/STM-256
• OTU1/OTU2/OTU3/OTU1e/OTU2e with FEC
• 10/100M, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (LAN/WAN)
• 1x/2x/4x/10x Fibre Channel
• Next-generation SONET/SDH (GFP, LO/HO VCAT and LCAS)

FTB-500 4-slot platform
Combines SONET/SDH, OTN, Ethernet and Fibre Channel analysis, as well as an optical spectrum analyzer with a built-in polarization controller.
Integrates two metro/CWDM OTDRs and a high-power - up to 23 dBm - optical spectrum analyzer (with built-in polarization controller) into a single portable solution.
Simultaneously runs a 10 gigabit next-generation SONET/SDH analyzer, as well as 1 gigabit and 10 gigabit Ethernet analyzers, delivering IPTV test capabilities and TCP throughput assessment.
Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet configurations:

• Gigabit Ethernet analyzer, OTDR and optical spectrum analyzer with polarization controller
• Gigabit Ethernet analyzer, 10 Gigabit Ethernet analyzer and OTDR
