Overview

Maintain top optical performance and minimize test equipment downtime

Swap-Out connectors: EXFO’s unique Swap-Out patent-protected feature lets you replace optical connectors in the field, as needed. Field teams can view connector health and replace worn connectors without having to send the tester needlessly back for maintenance.

Unprecedented versatility

Integrated power measurement and optical link mapping from the same port, with results compiled in a single report. Doing power checking and troubleshooting with the same unit—without needing to disconnect the fiber.

Future-proof test capabilities

Extended capability to test FTTx networks in construction and maintenance phases for all current and future PON technologies, including XGS-PON.

Field efficiency

Part of EXFO’s interconnected ecosystem, which is powered by EXFO Exchange—a secure collaborative software platform that automates and optimizes field testing and reporting, workflows, troubleshooting processes and more.

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!
