EXFO FTB-7500E Metro / Long Haul OTDR Module

Description

The EXFO FTB-7500E Metro/Long Haul OTDR Module, though discontinued, provided a powerful solution for testing long-distance fiber optic links used in metropolitan and long-haul networks. This high-performance module boasted a dynamic range of up to 45 dB, enabling technicians to detect faint events over extended distances. It offered multiple wavelengths (typically 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1625 nm) to accommodate various testing needs. The FTB-7500E excelled at characterizing long fibers with features like short dead zones for precise fault location and user-selectable pulse widths for optimized measurements across different distances. It also incorporated a discovery mode to automatically adjust test parameters based on the fiber under test, streamlining the testing process.
