The ongoing transition toward a converged network infrastructure for legacy DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN and Fibre Channel, requires a test tool that can cover a wide range of interfaces and rates—without sacrificing portability, speed or cost.
Leveraging the powerful, intelligent FTB-1 Pro handheld platform, the NetBlazer V2 Series streamlines processes and empowers field technicians to test and validate DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel, common public radio interface (CPRI) and packet-based high-speed Ethernet services efficiently.
Housed in the FTB-1 Platform, the FTB-880 offers comprehensive, yet simple test suites for field technicians to easily turn up, validate and troubleshoot DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, CPRI/OBSAI and SyncE/1588 PTP services at up to 11.3 Gbit/s.Modular Test Kit 10GigE SONET SDH PDH.
| Key Features |

| iSAM intelligent service activation methodology, based on the ITU-T Y.1564 and RFC 6349 standards, simplifies and speeds up Ethernet service activation |
| RFC-6349 testing: 10M-100G multisession TCP testing with bidirectional results |
| Pluggable CFP4 and QSFP28 optics to facilitate the testing of next-generation networks, and QSFP+ interface for 40GigE |
| Dual-port or quad-port testing up to 10G WAN and LAN, allows technicians to run up to four simultaneous tests |
| FTTA/C-RAN validation from 1.2 Gbit/s to 9.8 Gbit/s via layer-2 CPRI protocol and unframed BER testing |
| Real-time, high-resolution radio frequency (RF) spectrum analysis using digitized RF data (IQ data) in the CPRI link |
| Carrier Ethernet OAM testing covering the Y.1731, G.8113.1 (MPLS-TP), MEF and 802.1ag and IEEE 802.3ah Link OAM standards |
| Ethernet service activation with EtherSAM (ITU-T Y.1564) service configuration and performance tests, complemented by Remote Discovery, Smart Loopback and Dual Test Set capabilities |
| Ultra-powerful processing backed by quad-core FTB platform with Windows 8.1 Professional operating system, providing access to many third-party apps and the ability to connect to a wide range of devices |

| Model | Description |
| FTB-890 NetBlazer (tests up to 100G) | The FTB-890 NetBlazer is the entry level 10M to 100G tester that covers a wide range of technologies including OTN, SONET/SDH, CPRI and Fibre Channel. |
| FTB-890NGE NetBlazer (tests up to 100G) | The FTB-890NGE NetBlazer is the most comprehensive all-in-one tester, including testing for legacy networks at 64K up to next-generation networks at speeds of 100G. |
| FTB-880v2 NetBlazer (tests up to 10G) | The FTB-880v2/870v2 NetBlazer are the field technician’s go-to solution covering all things 10G.
Fully loaded Ethernet testing includes iSAM and RFC 6349 with GigE and 10 GigE dual ports, as well as OTN, SONET/SDH, DSn/PDH, ISDN PRI, fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA), Fibre Channel and packet synchronization.
|
| FTB-880Q NetBlazer (tests up to 10G) | Double up everything the FTB-880v2 has to offer and you get the NetBlazer FTB-880Q.
The FTB-880Q is designed for maximum field technician efficiency through accelerated processes running up to four simultaneous tests, as well as completely independent tests with zero restrictions.
The FTB-880Q/870Q are the only handheld testers offering quad-port GigE and quad-port 10 GigE.
