FTB-400
Universal Test system
Wide-Open Test Applications
Processing power, speed and flexibility—all great features. What’s even better? Amazing benefits. While acquiring OTDR data on one set
of fibers, you can perform DWDM testing with an OSA on other fibers in the cable. Then, print out concise reports on both tests. Today,
this is simply the best way to streamline test and measurement operations. You’ll work more effectively, speed up your test procedures
in the field and save hours in the process.
You’re responsible for installing non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber (NZDSF), qualifying DWDM SONET/SDH transmission equipment,
maintaining fiber networks and qualifying each and every splice in long-haul data networks. What you need is the FTB-400. Insert any
combination of OSA, CD and PMD analyzer, OTDR, power meter, ribbon fiber test kit or high-density optical switch in the two-slot
or seven-slot FTB-400 UTS and perform all your tests simultaneously.
Apply the same concepts to new access networks as well as passive optical networks (PONs). Though transmission rates are considerably
lower compared to long-haul systems (OC-3/12 vs. OC-192/768; STM 1/4 vs. STM 64/256), the density and architecture of the networks
(point-to-multipoint instead of point-to-point) vary enormously. The FTB-400 offers solutions adapted to all possible applications.
Multitasking
What does multitasking mean? It’s the revolutionary ability to simultaneously
combine several applications to meet specific test and measurement needs.
Thanks to two module receptacle choices (2 or 4 slots) and multiple configurations,
the FTB-400 brings multitasking to new heights. Below are a few examples.
