EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering has launched a 10 Gbps SONET/SDH test module for protocol testing of high-performance optical networks. The FTB-8000, a test unit contained inside the FTB-400 platform, fully integrates protocol-, optical- and physical-layer testing capabilities inside a single box for networks with data transmission rates as high as 10 Gbps.
This test module is ideally suited for metro and access networks since it can handle transmission rates from OC-192 (10 Gbps) down to DS0 (64 Kbps) in North America and STM-64 (10 Gbps) down to E0 (64 Kbps) in Europe and abroad within a single platform. Altogether, the FTB-400 platform supports a wide range of protocols, such as SONET, SDH, T-Carrier, PDH, 10/100 Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, through easily exchangeable test modules.
With this all-in-one test solution, a field technician can now correlate protocol-layer anomalies like bit or parity errors with optical- and physical-layer defects such as low optical-signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR), excessive polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) or chromatic dispersion (CD).

Like all EXFO protocol-layer test instruments, the FTB-8000 comes with a smart user interface (SUI) for ease of use and test scripting to automate field-testing processes. It can also be operated remotely via the visual guardian element management system (EMS). This is a critical feature at the time of system turn-ups where long-term testing is required.
