LTB-12 - rackmount modular mainframe

Overview
Bring power to your lab with a powerful, scalable and hot-swappable twelve-slot rackmount or benchtop platform designed for advanced lab and manufacturing photonic applications.

Key features

  • Compact 4U solution with high port module density for in-rack and tabletop applications
  • Hot-swap capability for quick transitions between both rackmount and portable platforms
  • RAID1 mirroring for redundancy and data protection
  • Simple, easy-to-use industrial grade computer design with the Microsoft Windows operating system
  • Out-of-band management: optimal remote access for maintenance or initial setup using Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT)
  • Powerful and flexible enough to run automation software and scripts without an external personal computer

Applications

  • Active and passive component testing
  • Transceiver manufacturing
  • WSS and ROADM calibration and tests
  • Sensing and spectroscopy
  • Spectral characterization
  • System verification and design
  • Manufacturing/Industry 4.0
  • PIC wafer-level testing

Highlights

Supports optical test modules 

Use the LTB-12 with EXFO’s FTBx optical module family for advanced optical testing.

It supports power sensing, attenuation, switching, spectrum analysis, light source and OTDR/iOLM functions, with a user-friendly graphical interface and the flexibility to combine capabilities for customized measurements.  

Automation for manufacturing 

The LTB-12 is ready for automation using industry methods including SCPI, IVI, RESTful Web services, TCP/IP, VISA, Ethernet, ActiveX, and optional GPIB and RS-232.

Install your preferred IDE on the LTB-12 hard drive, choose from Python, LabVIEW, C#, TCL, MATLAB®, C++, or Visual Basic, and start coding. 

Fiber inspection and verification 

Connect the FIP-430B to a USB port on the LTB-12 and, with ConnectorMax2 Analysis Software, quickly check whether connectors pass or fail inspection.

The solution supports automated endface inspection, image analysis, pass/fail assessment, reporting, and process automation through EXFO’s RESTful Web services API and SDK.
