POLARIZATION & DISPERSION

FTB-400 Universal Test System

An all-in-one solution combining physical, optical, transport and datacom testing in a single box. Perform simultaneous acquisitions and fast data post-processing and benefit from a scalable range of test applications and field-interchangeable modules. Choose from four configurations:

• 2-slot for OTDR, loss and Gigabit Ethernet testing
• 4-slot for full datacom test capabilities (Fibre Channel, Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet), or dedicated OTDR, loss and Ethernet (up to 10 Gigabit) testing
• 7-slot for scalable, advanced fiber-optic test applications, including DWDM and dispersion analysis
• 8-slot for complete dispersion characterization (CD, PMD and OTDR) and Next-Gen SONET/SDH analysis

FTB-5800 Chromatic Dispersion Analyzer 

The FTB-5800 Chromatic Dispersion Analyzer offers speed, accuracy and high performance for all your CD test needs in the CO and in the field. It uses the approved phase-shift method to measure chromatic dispersion (CD) in networks and fiber links in DWDM, long-haul and ultra-long-haul systems. With data rates reaching 10 Gb/s (OC-192, STM-64) and 40 Gb/s (OC-768, STM-256), CD characterization is critical. This product is 40 Gbit/s ready.

POTDR-1100 DOP Polarization-OTDR 

PMD is a major obstacle to high-quality, high-bit-rate transmission. Despite better singlemode fiber production techniques that considerably reduce PMD, at times it is more economical to upgrade fiber links rather than replace them. So, when upgrading old fiber links to higher bit rate, working with a mix of newer and older fibers means you can encounter huge PMD variations in a given link span. That’s why network operators are looking for ways to locate high-PMD link spans, in order to replace old fibers when upgrading their systems. Using a DOP-based polarization optical time domain reflectometer (P-OTDR), EXFO has developed this highly unique instrument to meet that specific need. You’ll find the leading-edge technology of the POTDR-1100 DOP Polarization-OTDR conveniently packaged in a four-slot module.
