EXFO FTB-7300D-023B

EXFO’s OTDRs deliver the right tools for accurately detecting and characterizing splices, connectors, splitters, breaks and other events along a fiber link. The FTB-7000B provides a wide choice of configurations to conveniently test all types of networks. The FTB-7000D and FTB-70000C enables multiplewavelength testing by combining triple-wavelength capability in a single module. Plus, the FTB-7000D offers extremely short dead zones—perfect for short-distance applications—and faster-than-ever acquisitions.

The FTB-7000D OTDR takes metro, access and FTTH network testing to the next level. Its exceptional 1 m event dead zone lets you characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office’s fiber distribution panel. This module features a highly efficient, lightning-fast trace acquisition routine, as full averaging is performed in 45 seconds.

Thanks to next-generation OTDR software, the FTB-7000D enables you to test through high-port-count splitters—even 1 x 32 splitters—perfect for passive optical network (PON) testing. This product is part of the EXFO series of FTTx-compliant optical test products. It allows for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) recommended by the ITU-T (G.983.3) for use in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks. 1 m event dead zone: shortest in the industry Four-times-shorter testing time, for minimized testing costs FTTx ready: passive optical network (PON) testing capability Market-leading linearity of ± 0.03 dB/dB, for highly accurate event characterization Dynamic range of up to 38 dB

Notes:

¹ All specifications valid at 23 °C ± 2 °C (73.4 °F ± 3.6 °F) with an FC/PC connector, unless otherwise specified.

² Typical dynamic range with a three-minute averaging at SNR = 1 (for 7200D and 7300D, typical dynamic range with 45-second averaging is only 1 dB lower than values given for three-minute averaging).

³ Typical dead zone of multimode modules for reflectance below −35 dB, using a 10 ns pulse

⁴ ORL measurement not available for this module.

⁵ Typical dead zone of singlemode modules for reflectance below −45 dB, using a 10 ns pulse (5 ns pulse for 7200D and 7300D).

⁶ Typical dead zone of 7200D and 7300D singlemode modules for reflectance below −55 dB, using a 5 ns pulse

⁷ Typical dynamic range on NZDS fiber with a three-minute average at SNR = 1.

⁸ Does not include uncertainty due to fiber index and sampling resolution.

⁹ Typical output power value at 1550 nm

¹⁰ Typical dynamic range at 1550 nm for the FTB-7423B-B configuration is 2 dB lower at 10 µs and 1 dB lower at 20 µs.

¹¹ Typical dynamic range at 1550 nm for the FTB-7503B-B and FTB-7523B-B configuration is 2 dB lower.
