Delivers fast and reliable performance, whether for verifying the capacity of legacy fiber or upgrading a network to any rate.
PMD represents a significant danger to both legacy and newly deployed networks. And as systems of 10 Gbit/s and faster develop, PMD concern and awareness continue to grow. EXFOs FTB-5500B PMD Analyzer helps you get ahead in the field. Whether you need to verify the capacity of legacy fiber or maintain a network, the modular FTB-5500B is fast, reliable and ready to go. This product is 40 Gbit/s ready.
Less than 5-Second Testing Time
The rugged FTB-5500B features a market-leading PMD measurement time of less than five secondsfor any PMD value. Improve your testing efficiency. Reduce testing costs. Test more fiber, and test it faster.
A Unique Approach to Testing Through EDFAs and Removing Autocorrelation Peaks
The FTB-5500Bs unique technology allows for both the auto-correlation and cross-correlation to be known. Therefore, any spectral shape of source can be used. The auto-correlation peak is thus removed, and higher accuracy and resolution are obtained. PMD of 0 ps can be measured. In addition, a signal transmitted through EDFAs can be analyzed for total link PMD. Calibration is traceable to NIST.
