Enhance the efficiency of your field technicians and speed up service activation by conducting up to four 100GE tests simultaneously.
The FTB-1 version 2 comes in two models: standard (FTB-1v2) and Pro (FTB-1 Pro). It's a compact testing platform designed for field technicians to easily conduct various tests such as optical, Ethernet, multiservice, and radio frequency (RF) interference. This platform is efficient and user-friendly, thanks to its powerful processing capability and intuitive interface.
A highly adaptable option for testing various technologies and fast networks is the Versatile MultiTechnology portable test platform. The FTB-4 Pro offers the capabilities of a top-tier platform in a portable tool that can be taken anywhere for field testing.
A top-tier power meter (GeX) capable of measuring up to 27 dBm, the highest in the industry. This is crucial for HFC networks or signals with high power. When paired with a light source that supports auto-lambda and auto-switching, the power meter syncs automatically to the same wavelength, preventing any chance of inaccurate measurements due to mismatch.
It features a wide range of connectors, auto-lambda, and auto-switching functionalities. Additionally, it provides storage and reporting for measurements and offers a selection of seven standard or CWDM calibrated wavelengths.
The LTB-2 is a robust and adaptable rackmount platform with two slots, intended for testing optical and multiservice systems in various settings such as central offices, data centers, labs, and manufacturing facilities.
This pioneering platform, the LTB-2, offers a flexible solution for a wide range of transport and data communication tasks. Whether utilized in central offices, design labs, or manufacturing setups, it enhances testing capabilities, catering to the demands of modern network complexities.
The FTBx-8870/8880 Power Blazer offers a comprehensive set of testing features, spanning from initial development stages in the lab to addressing issues in real-world scenarios. It supports various technologies up to 10G.
Users can set custom bit-error-rate (BER) thresholds before conducting tests, simplifying the interpretation of results with clear pass/fail outcomes at the end of each test.
Pluggable transceivers are advancing quickly due to various factors like cost, power needs, space, and the growing need for bandwidth. It's difficult to predict how long a particular transceiver will remain relevant before newer ones replace it, so the obsolescence of current hardware is essentially a waiting game.
Whether we're talking about SFP and SFP+ (for speeds up to 10G), QSFP28 and CFP4 (for 100G), or SFP28 (for 25G speeds), integrating these into a network, along with testing and validating them, presents a significant challenge. The wise approach is to allocate budget for adaptable solutions, rather than ones with limited capabilities.
The need for faster network speeds, specifically 100G, keeps rising as more bandwidth is required due to the increasing demand for data. This trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down, especially with the growth of data centers and the need for better connections between them.
To meet this demand, service providers are expanding their 100G networks while also searching for more efficient and affordable ways to do so. In response, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) are continuously developing new technologies to support these demands. They're introducing innovative solutions like CFP4 and QSFP28 interfaces, which offer faster speeds at lower costs and with higher density. This enables NEMs to bring to market their latest 100G solutions that are better suited for widespread deployment in networks.
A comprehensive 400G testing solution for field applications is now available. As service providers continuously expand their networks, they seek more economical methods to deploy high-speed circuits. The FTBx-88460 provides extensive versatility for validating both new 400G services and existing multi-rate networks.
Covering a range from 1G to 400G, this single testing solution allows technicians and engineers to assess all Ethernet rates, including 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, and 200GE. Users can activate Ethernet rates at their convenience without requiring additional modules or sending equipment back for factory upgrades.
The FTBx-88480 Series allows technicians to easily switch between testing different speeds (1G-400G), connections, and transceiver types using just one device. It comes in three versions (FTBx-88480, FTBx-88481, and FTBx-88482) and is compatible with both portable and rackmount platforms from EXFO, offering maximum testing versatility. Designed with modularity in mind, the FTBx-88480 Series features the unique Optical Transceiver System (OTS) and 112G electrical lanes, tailored for testing current transceivers while being adaptable for future technologies.
The network communications industry is transitioning again, this time from 400G to 800G. Initial 800G implementations, featuring 8x 100G configurations, are starting to emerge. This has triggered a race to develop and validate a new wave of high-speed devices. Transceiver vendors, chipset developers, network equipment manufacturers, hyperscalers, and optical R&D labs are all facing significant challenges in creating and implementing solutions to support this global network upgrade. In this fast-paced and complex environment, members of the Ethernet ecosystem need reliable testing equipment to design, manufacture, and qualify the new 800G technology.
