QUEBEC CITY, March 16, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc.
(NASDAQ: EXFO, TSX: EXF), the global network test, data and
analytics experts, today announced the launch of the FTBx-5245
Series of optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs) dedicated to R&D
labs and manufacturing. Faced with today's unprecedented
transformation challenges, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs)
have to innovate faster while managing costs and remaining agile to
scale up production. Its versatile form factor maximizes return on
investment for NEMs.
The FTBx-5245 OSA delivers a full range of spectral analysis
from laser and TOSAs to transmitters and full optical systems. It
supports critical measurements in labs and manufacturing such as
side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), central wavelength, full width
half max spectral width. In addition, it offers a complete suite of
modes specific to lab and manufacturing applications, such as
sources testing (DFB and Fabry-Perot), long-term source
characterization (drift mode), EDFA analysis and spectral
transmittance analysis.
"This OSA brings high performance in spectral testing for NEMs
developing CWDM/DWDM technologies and network components," said
Stéphane Chabot, Vice-President, Test and Measurement. "Its
versatility to carry out a diversity of measurements maximizes
return on investment for NEMs."
This OSA for CWDM/DWDM network analysis is housed in the highly
scalable LTB-8 platform, which offers the industry's best 100G port
density to maximize valuable shelf space while minimizing costs.
The eight-slot configuration of the LTB-8 can simultaneously
support as many as eight 100G modules for multiple interface test
combinations. LTB-8 can therefore house the new FTBx-5245 OSA,
optical power meters, variable optical attenuators, switches and
the FTBx-88200NGE multiservice transport module. This wide
combination of lab modules delivers unmatched test orchestration
capabilities through a full suite of lab testing features developed
for system design, development and deployment testing.
