SONET/SDH test module for field-test platforms

12 July 2006 Test & Measurement

Exfo has introduced the FTB-8115 Transport Blazer SDH+SONET module for the FTB-400 Universal Test System and FTB-200 Compact Platform. The combination of advanced SONET+SDH testing capabilities and the small, lightweight form factor of the FTB-200 platform delivers one of the most versatile and technically advanced portable SONET/SDH test solution for expanding access/metro transport networks.

The FTB-8115 Transport Blazer, available in 155 Mbps (OC-3/STM-1) or 622 Mbps (OC-12/STM-4) configurations, supports an extensive list of DSn, SONET, PDH and SDH features, allowing users to perform a wide range of tests from simple bit-error rate (BER) analysis to more advanced network characterisation and troubleshooting. In addition, this module offers an upgradeability path to 2,5 Gbps (OC-48/STM-16) and 10 Gbps (OC-192/STM-64) rates, ensuring customers' investments can be leveraged as their future testing needs evolve.
