OTDR enables testing at up to 250 km
-- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2007
EXFO offers the FTB-7600E optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) for ultra-long–haul network applications. With a dynamic range of 50 dB, the OTDR can characterize links up to 250 km and offers a linearity of ±0.03 dB/dB.
The FTB-7600E is housed inside the FTB-200 Compact Platform for technicians requiring a multi-technology test platform for large-scale network deployments. It is also available for the FTB-400 universal test platform, which is designed for network engineers who need advanced network diagnostics.
The OTDR module comes in single and dual-wavelength configurations and delivers up to 256,000 sampling points to achieve high trace resolution. A single push of a button generates detailed results, including a complete event table, within 5 s.
