Their customers count on our unique blend of equipment, software, and services to accelerate digital transformations related to fiber, 4G/LTE, and 5G deployments. They have spent over 30 years earning this trust, and today more than 1,900 EXFO employees in over 25 countries work side by side with their customers in the lab, field, data center, and beyond.
The OTDR operates within the 1475 to 1626 nm range, known as the SCL band. Its impressive dynamic range of 25 dB (or 32 dB with a reflector) allows precise measurements. When assessing distances, the uncertainty is ±(0.01 + 1% × distance). Remarkably, the OTDR completes its analysis in a swift 30 seconds or less. For accurate chromatic dispersion (CD) assessment, we need a minimum of 8 test points, with an uncertainty of ±10 ps/nm. Additionally, the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) display handles values up to 35 ps, while PMD measurements span from 0.1 to 20 ps with an uncertainty of ±(0.2 + 5% × PMD). These specifications ensure precise characterization of optical fibers, contributing to efficient and reliable communication networks.
This intelligent and automated test tool transforms fiber inspection into a faster and simplified one-step process providing accurate and consistent test results, and preventing the reporting of false-positive results
Built to simplify and speed up connector certification, the FIP-430B integrates advanced automated features, such as a high-performance, fiber image-centering system and onboard connector-endface pass/fail analysis based on IEC or custom standards to deliver accurate and consistent connector certification in seconds.
The EXFO FIP-435B-APC Fiber Inspection Probe features WiFi connectivity, one-step Pass/Fail function, automated focus, triple magnification, auto center and connector end-face analysis (IEC, IPC or custom standards), including MPO/MTP.
Purpose-built construction OTDRs for everyday field testing in any access network. With an intelligent Optical Link Mapper (iOLM) application for both single mode and multimode testing, this is the most automated and intelligent troubleshooting tool for FTTA, LAN and data centres.
EXFO FTBx-720D: the ideal construction OTDR for everyday field testing in any access network. With an iOLM application for both singlemode and multimode testing, it's the most automated and intelligent troubleshooting tool for FTTA, LAN and data centers.
Used in conjunction with an OTDR, the SPSB covers the OTDR's dead zone, enabling loss measurement on the first and last connections of a fiber under test.
The EXFO TK-FF FiberFinder Kit offers LFD-300 Live Fiber Detector and TG-300 Tone Generator, a combo which works as a live fiber identifier, live fiber detector and dark fiber identifier. It is used to pinpoint a specific live fiber without disrupting active traffic or damaging the fiber. The LFD-300 performs ambient light offset prior to fiber bending, which makes it less sensitive to ambient light. An external cap also can be placed on the head-end to block intense ambient light.
The FTB-2, available in a standard or Pro model, is the most compact solution on the market for multi-rate, multi-technology, multi-service testing, delivering all the power of a high-end platform in a conveniently sized, go-anywhere field-testing tool.
Simple to use, accurate, built specifically for field techs. The portable 5GPro Spectrum Analyzer provides visibility into 4G/LTE and 5G RF environments with the industry’s only modular solution.
Copper, xDSL and Gfast test set. Efficient copper characterization to 35 MHz and DSL/Gfast analysis for the installation and maintenance of ultra‑broadband deployments.
