FTBx-5205 - Simple DWDM channel checker

Intuitive channel checker to monitor DWDM channels and measure their power

Complex networks, simple solutions.​

The FTBx-5205 is a new channel checker test module that leverages the FTB platform ecosystem. It delivers highly visual data representation, which makes it the perfect field companion when dealing with dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transmissions over optical fiber.

Intuitive test results analysis​

The iOCC application offers an intuitive workflow menu and neatly displays test results analysis. Highly visual data representation allows for simpler and faster assessment. Tests results can be displayed into graph or table view to examine channel power levels. Color coding also provides contextual status over pass/fail analysis.​

Leveraging the FTB platform ecosystem​

EXFO’s FTB platform family delivers unsurpassed operational efficiency through integrated applications, embedded testing tools, as well as with routines and flexible connectivity options that streamline inventory management, simplify field communications and extend in-field capabilities.​
