EXFO OTDR LAN/WAN OTDR FTB-7200D

LAN/WAN OTDR FTB-7200D

Short Dead Zones
EXFO’s FTB-7200 LAN/WAN OTDR helps you boost test productivity for inside-plant applications. Its exceptional 1 m event dead zone enables you to easily locate and characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office’s fiber distribution panel. This feature also comes in handy in metro, access and FTTH network applications, where events are usually closely spaced.
Multimode and Singlemode Flexibility
The FTB-7200D model combines singlemode and multimode functionalities, ideal for private network testing. It offers the industry’s shortest dead zones, as well as lightning-fast acquisitions. Test multimode fiber within premises, or singlemode fiber between premises—all with a single OTDR unit—and maximize your return on investment.
Delivering Higher Accuracy for Event LocationThe FTB-7200D LAN/WAN OTDR locates events with pinpoint accuracy:

Up to 128 000 sampling points for higher trace resolution

Sampling resolution down to 4 cm, for ultra-accurate fault location

Better linearity—down to ±0.03 dB/dB—for more accurate event characterization

An FTTx Test Solution
Part of EXFO’s series of FTTx optical test products, the FTB-7200 LAN/WAN allows for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks. It also complies with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard.
Faster Trace Acquisition
The FTB-7200 features a highly optimized, lightning-fast trace acquisition routine: full averaging is performed in 45 seconds—four times faster than the industry standard averaging time of three minutes. When installing or troubleshooting metro networks, the FTB-72000D reduces the three-wavelength testing time for a typical 288-fiber cable from more than 43 hours to less than 11 hours, thereby minimizing testing costs.

EXFO’s OTDR Software: Boosting Productivity in the Field

Auto and Advanced Modes: Choose Your Testing Approach
Streamline data acquisition in the field and report generation back at the office with EXFO’s powerful OTDR software. Choose from two testing approaches: Auto mode or Advanced mode.
Auto Mode: One-Touch Testing
Ideal for basic, repetitive applications, the Auto mode shortens the learning curve for new OTDR users.

Preset test parameters

Choice of single- or dual-wavelength OTDR testing

Convenient one-step event table

Advanced Mode: Flexibility for Experts
For complete control over your test routine, select the Advanced mode. Manually set all acquisition parameters, including the index of refraction (IOR) and helix factor. Save time and get better results by fine-tuning acquisition parameters on the fly.
