EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) has announced the introduction of
the FTB-2200 Broadband Source, a 40G/100G-ready high-power PMD source module.
Used in conjunction with the FTB-5500B generalized interferometric PMD
analyzer, the FTB-2200 enables the fastest and most accurate field-based PMD
measurements currently on the market.
With increasing data speeds, measuring low values of polarization mode
dispersion (PMD) is more crucial than ever. It has been known for a long time
that PMD is a significant obstacle in both legacy and newly deployed networks.
High-speed fiber networks, including long-haul and submarine routes, require
tighter margins and more accurate measurement of PMD, which is what the
battery-operated, high-power FTB-2200 Broadband Source offers when used with
the market-leading FTB-5500B PMD Analyzer.
Equipped with a built-in polarization scrambler, EXFO’s FTB-2200
combines with the FTB-5500B to ensure that all legacy and newly designed
networks will achieve optimal performance, regardless of transmission speed.
Designed for the FTB-200 Compact Platform, this latest EXFO
innovation provides customers with additional tools to meet the demand for
stable and resilient network performance.
