Description

Testing traditional TDM services

Compatible with the FTB-2 Pro and FTB-500 platforms, the FTB-8805 Power Blazer is ideally suited to TDM field service deployment and maintenance activities. This test module offers the capabilities needed to test traditional TDM DSn and PDH electrical rates, as well as SONET and SDH electrical rates of up to 155 Mbit/s, thereby enabling users to perform tests ranging from simple bit-error-rate (BER) testing to advanced characterization and troubleshooting procedures.

Unsurpassed configuration and operational flexibility

Simplified BER testing

Preconfigure bit-error-rate thresholds prior to running the test. This allows for a simple pass/fail verdict, leaving no room for the misinterpretation of test results.

Simplified error injection

Ensure circuit continuity prior to starting a test—technicians will enjoy this feature allowing them to inject errors with a single click from any screen. The error injection functionality can be preprogrammed for any given type of error.

Complete overhead monitoring

Access all SONET/SDH overhead (OH) bytes. Select any given OH byte to retrieve additional detailed information about that byte without the need to switch pages.
