FTBx-88260 - 10M to 100G network tester

Overview
FTBx-88260 is a customizable 10M-to-100G network tester with 100ZR coherent support and multi-interface flexibility through EXFO’s Open Transceiver System (OTS).

Key features

  • With EXFO’s Open Transceiver System (OTS): innovative, evolutionary design enabling any transceiver (now or future) to fit into an EXFO test solution
  • OTS support for multiple interfaces: dual SFP28, dual QSFP28, single CFP4
  • Dual-port Ethernet testing capability up to 50GE including a complete Ethernet test suite
  • iOptics test application that quickly validates the sanity of an optical device using minimal configuration
  • Compatible with EXFO’s LTB-8 Rackmount Platform featuring hot-swap capability for lab use
  • Compatible with FTB-2 Pro Platform capable of running up to two modules simultaneously for up to four ports of 25 GigE

Applications

  • Ethernet/IP network testing and troubleshooting up to 100G
  • 5G transport network validation (fronthaul, midhaul, backhaul)
  • Data centers

Highlights

Industry’s first field portable test unit supporting 100ZR coherent interface

  • 100 Gbit/s DWDM wavelengths with reach up to 300 km
  • Low power coherent QSFP28 transceiver (< 5 watts) for easy migration and deployment
  • Use cases: Metro and edge network aggregation, 5G mobile backhaul and middle mile connectivity for rural broadband

Test today's transceivers.
Be ready for tomorrow's.

EXFO's Open Transceiver System (OTS), an innovative, evolutionary design concept enabling any transceiver (now or future) to fit an EXFO test solution.

  • Experience ultimate flexibility—swap out OTS modules right in the field, lab or on the production floor, choosing only the ones needed for the applications, rates or technologies under test.
  • Reduce costs significantly by eliminating the need to purchase an entirely new test unit. Instead, change a less costly OTS module and extend the life of testing equipment.
  • Support multiple transceiver types simultaneously with a future-proof architecture designed to handle both current and upcoming high-speed transceiver technologies as they are developed and launched.

Support for multiple transceiver types

Electrical interface support (using an adapter):

  • 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G electrical

Dual SFP28

  • Ethernet dual port (EBERT, RFC2544, ESAM, TGEN), OTN, SONET/SDH, FC testing

Dual QSFP28

  • 40G/100G data rates
  • Framed Ethernet dual port (EBERT, RFC2544, ESAM, TGEN), OTN testing

Single CFP4

  • 100G data rate
  • Ethernet dual port (EBERT, RFC2544, ESAM, TGEN), OTN testing

SYNC

  • Built-in GPS
  • Ideal solution for latency and clock testing
  • Timing and Sync applications: 1588 PTP/SyncE, Wander and time error
