News from EXFO is the launch of the FOT-5200 channel analyser for CWDM networks. The new FOT-5200 is claimed to be the fastest and smallest tester on the market for the installation, maintenance and repair of any CWDM network, and is specifically suited for mobile backhaul activation for telcos and cable TV operators.
With the ever-increasing challenge in meeting demand on bandwidth and network congestion, multiple-service operators (MSO) need visibility in wavelength power and allocation to find the cause of possible transmission problems not related to the physical media, and as a result spend much valuable time in resolving this issue. Further, there is an exponential growth in the mobile backhaul market and increase in CWDM deployments, which allows for flexibility in terms of network planning and installation while preserving scalability to handle far higher data transmission volumes as bandwidth needs expand.
Coupled with usability and speed enhancements, the FOT-5200 increases field technicians’ day-to-day efficiency for network testing and activation. Ideal for mass CWDM deployments, this low-cost optical spectrum analyser alternative delivers an all-in-one toolkit with an integrated broadband power meter and loss tester. The instrument provides plug-and-play usability, displaying results in bar graphs and tables. In addition, it allows users to save and download data through USB connection.
