FTBx-735C - metro/PON FTTx/MDU OTDR

High-resolution OTDR designed for metro networks testing and splitter characterization in PON FTTx applications.

Key features

Dynamic range of up to 42 dB
Event dead zone of 0.5 m and attenuation dead zone of 2.5 m
Test through high-port-count splitters (up to 1x128)
Singlemode port for in-service troubleshooting with in-line 1490/1550 nm power meter
EXFO Connect-compatible: automated asset management; data goes through the cloud and into a dynamic database
iOLM-ready: one-touch multiple acquisitions, with clear go/no-go results presented in a straightforward visual format

Applications

FTTx/MDU test challenges within PON networks
Metro/core network testing (P2P)

Description

The FTBx-735C has been designed to test FTTH/PON networks and longer links in the metro range. This OTDR has 42 dB of dynamic range to test up to 150 km of optical fiber. The PON-optimized performances of the FTBx-735C enable it to fully characterize links up to a 1:128 FTTH/PON splitter ratio.

With its high dynamic range, the FTBx-735C empowers technicians to test optical fibers with greater speed and accuracy.

The FTBx-735C advantage

  • The industry’s highest resolution for PON testing and the shortest PON dead zone to detect more problems closer to the splitter.
  • High resolution for maximum fiber characterization on long links up to 150 km. Ideal to support bidirectional testing.
