EXFO FTB-200 Platform with FTB-7200D Quad OTDR and FTB-8510B 10G Ethernet Tester
This is a kit built around the EXFO FTB-200 handheld modular test platform fitted with an FTB-7200D quad wavelength OTDR module and an FTB-8510B module for 10G LAN/WAN Ethernet testing. The quad OTDR covers both multimode and singlemode fiber so one instrument can test enterprise LANs, data centers, access networks, and FTTx links. The FTB-8510B adds the ability to check the Ethernet service running over the fiber.
Key Features
- Quad-wavelength OTDR: the FTB-7200D-12CD-23B tests multimode at 850/1300 nm (50/125 and 62.5/125 µm) and singlemode at 1310/1550 nm (9/125 µm)
- Dynamic range: around 26/25 dB for multimode and 35/34 dB for singlemode with up to 36 dB on singlemode versions
- Short dead zones: event dead zone as low as 1 m and attenuation dead zone around 4.5 m so closely spaced events in short links are resolved clearly
- Handles high reflections: designed for LAN and WAN environments with many connectors
- Integrated tools: an optional visual fault locator (VFL), a fiber inspection probe connection a broadband power meter and a CW source mode
- EF-ready multimode testing: works with an external launch mode conditioner for EF compliant multimode results
- Universal connector interface: EXFO Universal Interface (EUI) accepts UPC and APC adapters
- EXFO Connect compatibility: automatically pushes equipment and test data to the cloud for asset management and reporting
- FTB-200 platform: a compact rugged handheld battery operated chassis that holds the test modules with an easy to use graphical interface
- FTB-8510B Ethernet module: adds 10G LAN/WAN testing alongside the OTDR helping verify service performance as well as fiber quality
Typical Applications
- Enterprise LAN, campus, and data center fiber testing
- FTTx, metro, and access network installation and troubleshooting
- Fiber characterization, loss, and reflectance measurements
- Connector and splice quality checks
- Ethernet service verification on 10G links
Why Choose It
A single FTB-200 with this module set replaces separate OTDR source and meter, VFL, and Ethernet testers. Quad wavelengths and short dead zones suit the mixed multimode and singlemode fiber found in enterprise and access networks and the modular platform lets you add capabilities later.
