Description
Overview
The EXFO FTB-730-236B is an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) designed for field technicians who need to characterize splitters in passive optical network (PON), fiber-to-the-home (FTTx), and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications. With triple-wavelength capability at 1310, 1490, and 1550 nm, this module delivers a dynamic range of up to 39 dB and can test through splitters with port counts up to 1x128.
Key Features
- Test through high-port-count splitters (up to 1x128)
- Singlemode port for in-service troubleshooting with standard in-line optical power meter
- Dynamic range up to 39 dB at 20 μs
- Short acquisition time for rapid deployment
- EXFO Connect-compatible for automated asset management and cloud-based database integration
- iOLM-ready for one-touch multiple acquisitions with visual go/no-go results
Applications
- FTTx and MDU test challenges within PON networks
- Access network testing (point-to-point)
- Passive Optical LAN (POL)
Specifications
| Real Time Averaging | Activates the OTDR laser in continuous shooting mode, the trace refreshes in real time and allows to monitor the fiber for a sudden change. Perfect for a quick overview of the fiber under test. |
| Automode | Used as a discovery mode, this feature automatically adjusts the distance range and the pulse width in function of the link under test. It is recommended to adjust the parameters to perform additional measurements to locate other events. |
| Zoom Tools | Zoom and center to facilitate the analysis of your fibers. Draw a window around the area of interest and center in the screen quicker. |
| Set Parameters on the Fly | Dynamically change OTDR settings for the ongoing acquisition without stopping or returning to submenus. |
| Macrobend Finder | This built-in feature enables the unit to automatically locate and identify macrobends, no need to spend further time analyzing the traces. |
