Test procedure compliance matters

Nearly 40% of organizations have experienced major outages due to human error in the past three years, with 85% of these incidents resulting from staff failing to adhere to methods of procedure (MoPs) or from flawed procedures. (Study by Uptime Institute, 2023).

Always-on connectivity

The FTB Lite Series builds upon EXFO’s innovation in OTDR testing with a secure Connected First™ approach that complements its dedicated and rugged design. Always-on and seamless connectivity to EXFO Exchange delivers unprecedented gains in compliance, efficiency, security and visibility:

Streamlined compliance and automated validation

Automated job tracking and real-time reporting confirm adherence to methods of procedure (MoP) ensure compliance with testing standards while reducing errors and administration time.

Enhanced collaboration and efficiency

Real-time data sharing, automated uploads, and cloud-based reporting enable seamless teamwork, faster decision-making, and accelerated project timelines.

Valuable insights

Automated access to comprehensive live data to perform analytics and extract insights, enabling informed decision-making and planning.

Icon-based mapping

Optical Link Mapper (OLM) is included with all FTB Lite OTDRs.

OLM interprets OTDR traces automatically and provides an icon-based view of the elements on the link:

Automatic analysis of multiple wavelengths with a consolidated link view display.
Synced with events and placed below the linear view to see all events on the link.
Display of end-to-end link length, loss and ORL according to pass/fail settings.
Automatic parameter settings and clear go/no-go results.
Prompt guidance on where and what the network issues are.

Share test results. Boost compliance. Unlock insights. 

Cloud-hosted solution for sharing test results and ensuring compliance.

Paired with EXFO’s leading test instruments, EXFO Exchange drives an entire ecosystem, while integrating seamlessly with existing operation processes.
