FTBx-88480 Series - compact, dual-port 400G tester for the field

Discover the FTBx-88480

With so many connectivity points to test and budget restraints to consider, operators need test equipment that can do more—equipment that’s built to handle the latest new technologies as they emerge.

The FTBx-88480 400G tester helps operators make the most of tight test-equipment budgets. Operators invest in a single, multiservice platform that is flexible enough to test both emerging 400G networks as well as 1G-100G networks. And its modular platform means upgradeability is built-in—so it's ready to handle the evolution from “now” to “next”.

Go modular with the Open Transceiver System

How do you test today’s transceivers, while being ready to validate tomorrow’s next-gen optics? Do both, with EXFO’s Open Transceiver System (OTS). The OTS is an innovative, evolutionary design enabling any transceiver (now or future) to fit into an EXFO test solution. 

Experience ultimate flexibility—swap out OTS modules in the field, choosing only the ones needed for whichever applications, rates or technologies under test (e.g., coherent optics, 400G ZR and 400G ZR+).
Save on CAPEX by eliminating the necessity to completely replace an expensive testing module. Instead, swap out OTS modules and extend the life of test equipment.
Support multiple transceiver types simultaneously with a future-proof architecture designed to handle both current and upcoming high-speed transceiver technologies as they are developed and deployed.

Go beyond the field into the lab

Whether its carrier labs testing out the latest transceivers before technicians encounter them in the field, or other communication equipment manufacturers running tests on manufacturing floors, the need for 400G test solutions extends beyond the field to lab and manufacturing applications.

With the FTBx-88480 in EXFO’s LTB-8 rackmount platform, users can:

• Get more done faster with 8 x 400G test ports running simultaneously.
• Test multiple rates (400G, 200G, 100G, 25G)

Combine the FTBx-88480 with other best-in-class test tools (e.g., OSA, optical switches and variable attenuators) for a full suite of advanced testing capabilities. Learn more.
