EXFO FTB-5600 Distributed PMD Analyzer

Higher-speed transmission—10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s—is becoming increasingly widespread, which brings challenges when it comes to upgrading existing fiber architectures. Namely, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) can be quality-limitative, as PMD increases as transmission speed increases.

EXFO's FTB-5600 Distributed PMD Analyzer adds a third option into the mix: replacing only the faulty sections of the link. The first instrument of its kind on the market, the FTB-5600 delivers a clearer, more detailed picture of a link's PMD, one that performs a paradigm shift from "effective but costly" to "cost-effective".

Features

Applications

• PMD assessment for upgrading networks to 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s transmission

Key Features and Benefits

• Performs single-ended section-by-section measurement of a link's PMD
• Simulates the impact of replacing a high-PMD section on the link's total PMD
