Full specifications

Description

The FTBx-735C has been designed to test FTTH/PON networks and longer links in the metro range. This OTDR has 42 dB of dynamic range to test up to 150 km of optical fiber. The PON-optimized performances of the FTBx-735C enable it to fully characterize links up to a 1:128 FTTH/PON splitter ratio.

With its high dynamic range, the FTBx-735C empowers technicians to test optical fibers with greater speed and accuracy.

The FTBx-735C advantage

The industry’s highest resolution for PON testing and the shortest PON dead zone to detect more problems closer to the splitter.
High resolution for maximum fiber characterization on long links up to 150 km. Ideal to support bidirectional testing.
