Highlights
SmartRefTM: The easiest referencing ever
One-touch referencing, validation, and troubleshooting with visual diagnostics.
With SmartRefTM, the FTB Lite 975 leverages the power of automation to:
- Provide a streamlined single-step process, less prone to false negatives and errors.
- Support referencing of 2 units apart, via the fiber under test (up to 10 km).
- Provide clear visual diagnostic of issues and recommended corrective action for faster troubleshooting.
- Allow flexible and precise referencing, every time, for all connector types—a major innovation.
Versatile testing up to 24 fibers
The FTB Lite 975 provides bidirectional Tier-1 OLTS measurements (ORL, IL, length, and polarity) and also offers OTDR capabilities (upcoming).
FTB Lite 975 makes it easy to test and certify all fiber-optic cables and connector types, from simplex and duplex to multi-fiber (base 8/12/16 up to 24). No proprietary test cable is needed—use standard cables and cut costs.
End-to-end automation
FTB Lite 975 accelerates fiber builds with end-to-end automation from one-touch referencing, touchless testing and reporting to fault finding and OTDR-based troubleshooting to eliminate manual steps and deliver networks right the first time.
Always-on connectivity and EXFO Exchange integration enable real-time sharing, job management, and API-based third-party integration.
OTDR/iOLM capabilities (hardware-ready)
Built with forward-looking architecture, this test instrument is designed to evolve with your needs. FTB Lite 975 capabilities include:
- Fault Finder: Quickly locate and identify failures along the link under test, including breaks, bends, poor splices or faulty connectors.
- Onboard bidirectional OTDR: Complete link characterization of every element along the link for each individual fiber (e.g., connectors, splices), done with EXFO’s patented iOLM.
