FTBx-88480 Series - dual-port 1G-400G, 800G-ready testers

Test twice as fast with dual-port testing

The ability to test two ports simultaneously means technicians can do more in a single day. With the sheer volume of ports in play—like the thousands of high-speed connections within a single data center—fast and accurate testing is critical.

• Validate two circuits simultaneously (1G-400G, 400ZR and 400ZR+ coherent optics)
• Test main and backup links at the same time and under consistent conditions, reducing technician time in the field and potential for network failures
• Testing more in a day means more test results are consolidated on a single report, making analysis that much easier

Go modular with the Open Transceiver System

How do you test today’s transceivers, while being ready to validate tomorrow’s next-gen optics? Do both, with EXFO’s Open Transceiver System (OTS). The OTS is an innovative, evolutionary design enabling any transceiver (now or future) to fit into an EXFO test solution. 

Experience ultimate flexibility—swap out OTS modules in the field, choosing only the ones needed for various applications, rates or technologies under test.
Save on CAPEX by eliminating the necessity to completely replace an expensive testing module. Instead, swap out OTS modules and extend the life of test equipment.
Support multiple transceiver types simultaneously with a future-proof architecture designed to handle both current and upcoming high-speed transceiver technologies as they are developed and deployed.

Pioneering the validation of QSFP112 optics

QSFP112 represents the evolution of the QSFP transceiver form factor. Its streamlined, four-electrical lane architecture delivers a remarkable reduction in power consumption compared to its predecessor, QSFP-DD.

The FTBx-88480 Series 400G test solution offers advanced capabilities for validating cables and transceivers (including QSFP112) in laboratory, manufacturing and field applications. When paired with EXFO’s latest FTB-1 Pro platform, it’s the industry’s only portable QSFP112 test solution.

• Multi-port, QSFP112 configuration (up to 3 ports in a single, compact handheld solution)
• QSFP112-types supported: FR4, DR4, SR4, LR4, AOC, DAC.

Go beyond the field into the lab

Whether its carrier labs testing out the latest transceivers or equipment manufacturers running tests on manufacturing floors, the need for 400G test solutions extends beyond the field to lab and manufacturing applications.

With the FTBx-88480 Series in EXFO’s LTB-8 rackmount or portable platforms, users can:

• Get more done faster with up to 8 x 400G test ports running simultaneously.
• Test different rates (400G, 200G, 100G, 25G) and optics (OSFP, QSFP-DD)

Need to perform different tests simultaneously? Or want to test the same technology across 4 ports to speed up test programs? We’ve got you covered with the quad-port FTBx-88482. Includes dual-test capability on a mix of applications including BERT, RFC 2544, OTN, iOptics and more!

Combine the FTBx-88480 Series with other best-in-class test tools (e.g., OSA, optical switches and variable attenuators) for a full suite of advanced testing capabilities. Learn more.
