The MAX-800 Series’ intelligent situational configuration setup feature guides technicians through complete, accurate testing processes (e.g., suggestion prompts amd help guides). In addition, it reduces navigation by combining associated testing functions on a single screen, and offers intelligent autodiscovery enabling a single technician to perform end-to-end testing.

The FTB-8830NGE and FTBx-8870/8880 Power Blazer Series of modules offer a full suite of test capabilities for a range of technologies up to 10G, addressing different test applications ranging from development in the lab to troubleshooting in the field.

The LFD-300B FiberFinder brings a unique approach: the power loss is monitored as the angle is changed. Therefore, the angle is automatically optimized for each fiber type and each singlemode wavelength.

The FTB-700G V2 Series offers a fully integrated DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel, CPRI and Ethernet handheld tester, and an 8-inch multitouch screen with unprecedented configuration simplicity. Platform connectivity is abundant via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and USB ports, making it accessible in any environment.

EXFO’s LFD-250B Live Fiber Detector introduces step-motor-activated bending and makes fixed-angle bending—and the drawbacks stated above—a thing of the past.

The LFD-200 Live Fiber Detector allows you to detect traffic and measure signals anywhere on singlemode fibers without having to disconnect them. It also lets you check for signal presence before rerouting or maintenance, perform continuity tests and verify cable labeling. Based on non-destructive macrobending technology, the LFD-200 doesn’t disrupt traffic, damage or overstress the fiber, enabling efficient, accurate and reliable data acquisition.

One of the promises of coherent systems is that they can handle very high levels of polarization mode dispersion (PMD), but is that really the case? Each wavelength has a different instantaneous PMD (referred to as differential group delay or DGD) that is uncorrelated with the next wavelength and changes over time. The average of all these DGDs at individual wavelengths is what we call PMD. Coherent systems feature digital signal processing (DSP) technology that tracks and compensates in real-time for the variations in DGD on a per-wavelength basis.

Combining PMD and CD into one test solution that enables technicians to characterize multiple links from a single location, the FTB-5700 is built specifically for today’s high-speed network reality. Its highly intelligent interface and functionalities ensure that test parameters are automatically optimized, whatever the link./
