Exfo Electro-Optical Engineering's latest FTB-200 Compact Platform, is a lightweight and portable test platform optimised for multitechnology, multi-application characterisation of metro and access networks.
This modular platform holds up to two field-interchangeable modules that are fully compatible with the company's highly-entrenched FTB-100 and FTB-400 platform series. The FTB-200 platform with its suite of available modules, is specifically designed to carry out key testing and troubleshooting tasks on fibre-optic and copper links.
Test technologies well suited for the FTB-200 include a wide range of singlemode and multimode optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), automated optical loss test sets (OLTSs), legacy and next-generation SONET/SDH analysers from DS0 up to OC-192, as well as Gigabit Ethernet testers and more test modules the company will deliver in future.
The Compact Platform also offers a built-in power meter, visual fault locator (VFL), fibre-inspection probe and portable Bluetooth printer on an optional basis. File transfers and software upgrades can readily be handled through its USB connection. In addition, all test results obtained from the FTB-200 are fully compatible with Exfo's R/T Pro test result management database.
Powered by the Windows CE/Mobile operating system, the FTB-200 Compact Platform delivers the power and versatility of the company's FTB-400 Universal Test System, but in a lightweight and cost-effective design. Based on an open architecture, the FTB-200 can potentially run several software applications and leverage a wide range of standard connectivity features (USB, Bluetooth, etc).
Whether testing triple-wavelength insertion loss at the central office or data integrity of an IP-based network in the core, Exfo says the FTB-200 Compact Platform is the solution of choice for this new breed of field technician.
