Full Description

The FTBx-735C has been designed to test FTTH/PON networks and longer links in the metro range. This OTDR has 42 dB of dynamic range to test up to 150 km of optical fiber. The PON-optimized performances of the FTBx-735C enable it to fully characterize links up to a 1:128 FTTH/PON splitter ratio.

With its high dynamic range, the FTBx-735C empowers technicians to test optical fibers with greater speed and accuracy.

The FTBx-735C advantage

  • The industry’s highest resolution for PON testing and the shortest PON dead zone to detect more problems closer to the splitter.
  • High resolution for maximum fiber characterization on long links up to 150 km. Ideal to support bidirectional testing.

Key features

Dynamic range of up to 42 dB
Event dead zone of 0.5 m and attenuation dead zone of 2.5 m
Test through high-port-count splitters (up to 1x128)
Singlemode port for in-service troubleshooting with in-line 1490/1550 nm power meter
EXFO Connect-compatible: automated asset management; data goes through the cloud and into a dynamic database
iOLM-ready: one-touch multiple acquisitions, with clear go/no-go results presented in a straightforward visual format

Applications

FTTx/MDU test challenges within PON networks
Metro/core network testing (P2P)
