Various types of tasks solved thanks to the EXFO FTB-500 platform

Full fiber condition assessment: reflectometry, CD dispersion analysis and PMD
PMD, CD and scatter measurements combined in one solution provide a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the fiber. You can run the FastReporter measurement processing software right during the measurement process, which will speed up the analysis of data and the creation of reporting documentation right on the spot.

Analysis of the distribution of PMD along the length of the fiber (determination of the distance to the section with poor PMD)
Measurement of PMD from one side and by fiber sections allows you to upgrade specific fibers and ensure the lowest cost of implementing 10, 40 and 100 Gbit / s transmission systems.

Optical spectrum analysis, ROADM and 40 Gbps testing
Integrated optical and transport link testing in one portable solution supporting OC-768, STM-256, OTU3, and true in-signal OSNR measurement for ROADM (In-band), 40G transmission and UDWDM signals.

100Gbps Test Applications
The most advanced hardware platform is ready for the 100Gb/s applications of the future.
