Exfo FTB-880

FTB-1 for validation and troubleshooting DSn/PDH SONET/SDH Fibre Channel and Ethernet testing to 10 Gbit/s.

Housed in the FTB-1 Platform, the FTB-880 offers comprehensive, yet simple test suites for field technicians to easily turn up, validate and troubleshoot DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel and Ethernet services at up to 10 Gbit/s.

The ongoing transition towards a converged network infrastructure for legacy DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel and packet-based Ethernet services requires a test tool that can cover a wide range of interfaces and rates, without sacrificing portability, speed or cost. Leveraging the powerful, intelligent FTB-1 handheld platform, the FTB-880 NetBlazer streamlines processes and empowers field technicians to test and validate DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel and Ethernet circuits efficiently.

The FTB-880 NetBlazer is a fully integrated DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel and Ethernet handheld tester. It offers the industry's largest touchscreen with unprecedented configuration simplicity via hybrid touchscreen/keypad navigation. Platform connectivity is abundant via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet or USB ports, making it accessible in any environment.
