Spec sheet

Description

The FTBx-730D is the OTDR of choice for field technicians who need to accurately test through splitters and troubleshoot FTTH networks down to the finest details.

The FTBx-730D OTDR is optimized to test through optical splitters and characterize FTTH links. Field technicians can characterize and troubleshoot links 132 km point-to-point (P2P) thanks to its dynamic range of up to 42 dB.

The FTBx-730D advantage

The highest resolution for PON testing and the shortest PON dead zone to find more problems closer to the splitter than any other OTDR.
Proven industry-leading performance in characterizing double-stage splitters and closely spaced events.
User-friendly graphical user interface.

Swap-Out connector

The new line of FTBx 700D OTDR modules comes with a Swap-Out connector which can easily be changed, as and when needed, without having to send the test module to a service center. This ensures optimal performance over time without undue maintenance costs and downtime. The OTDR's optical connector health can be checked with an onboard diagnostic tool to replace the connector only when necessary.

Did you know?

Was your OTDR connector damaged when connecting a UPC cable to the APC port on your device? This no longer needs to cause downtime by sending the device back for repair. Thanks to EXFO’s Swap-Out connectors, you can now check connector health instantly and replace your connector within seconds if needed–directly from the field! See it for yourself.
