Multiplatform Support and Versatility
The FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE modules share a unique architecture that allows them to be supported and interchangeable on
the FTB-500 and FTB-200 platforms. This cross-platform support provides users with added flexibility to select the platform that
best suits their testing needs. EXFO is the first and only test solution provider to offer this versatility, delivering single to multi-
application test solutions with the same hardware module, which in turn dramatically reduces capital expenditures.
Once inserted into the FTB-200 Compact Platform, the FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE modules deliver the industry’s most compact
integrated SONET/SDH, Ethernet and Fibre Channel solution focused on field testing applications. Available with powerful
options—high-precision power meter, visual fault locator and fiber inspection probe—the FTB-200 provides all the critical test tools
required for day-to-day activities, eliminating the need to carry and manage multiple test sets.
Using the FTB-500 platform provides users with an all-in-one solution supporting a mix of SONET/SDH, OTN, Ethernet, Fibre
Channel and optical-layer test modules, making it the industry’s first truly integrated network testing platform. The resulting
modularity enables users to upgrade their systems in the field according to their testing needs. This multitechnology test platform
is the ideal solution for field, central office and lab applications.
Product Option Flexibility
With the FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE Power Blazer modules, users can
purchase one or more next-generation options (e.g., GFP, VCAT, LCAS)
and/or OTN options (OTU1, OTU2) via field upgrades to customize their
configuration as new needs arise. This eliminates the need to perform
complete hardware and/or platform retrofits, therefore significantly
decreasing capital and training expenses.
Also, EXFO’s FTB-8120NGE supports 1x/2x/4x Fibre Channel testing
options, while the FTB-8130NGE supports 1x/2x/4x/10x Fibre Channel
testing options.
