Introducing the FTB-5600

Distributed PMD Analyzer

The FTB-5600 is composed of an OTDR, a tunable laser source and a
polarization scrambler. It characterizes PMD along a link. Its key feature is
to identify fiber sections with a strong PMD value, then enabling the
correction of the link by replacing faulty sections.

The results include:

³

A cumulative PMD curve and an OTDR trace

³

A PMD section table that provides the PMD for each section identified
by the instrument.

³

An estimation table that can be used to analyze the effect of removing
strong PMD sections of the link.

The result of the acquisition will be displayed as a graph, as well as several
result tables to help you analyze the data better.
