Description

A next-generation tool for broadband deployments

EXFO’s FTB-635 Wideband Copper and DSL Tester is the perfect tool for any service provider deploying multiplay services over FTTN and hybrid networks. The all-in-one FTB-635 tests optical power, wideband copper, ADSL2+/VDSL2, 1G Ethernet and multiplay services, including live video preview. The large display of the FTB-635 makes it even more user-friendly, clear and intuitive, and when it comes to capturing and uploading results, it provides technicians with many connectivity options for uploading tests and compiling reports.

SmartR™ technology

Equipped with SmartR technology, the FTB-635 enables technicians and engineers alike to work smarter—not harder. It is the next generation of telco cable testing that automatically identifies and locates common circuit faults and presents results using intuitive graphical displays and plain language.

The Pair Detective feature automatically runs the most common line tests and provides graphical, color-coded, plain language results and pass/fail indications to detect conditions, including shorts, grounds, opens, battery, splits and imbalances.

FaultMapper uses time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technology to provide the additional capability of identifying the location of the service-affecting line faults, including bridged taps, shorts, grounds and opens. EXFO’s unique SmartR draws an easy-to-understand graph of the wire pair, making copper troubleshooting easier than ever.
