Exfo FTB-8105

Compatible with both the FTB-200 Compact Platform and FTB-400 Universal Test System, the FTB-8105 Transport Blazer is ideally suited for TDM field service deployment and maintenance activities. This test module offers capabilities to test traditional TDM DSn and PDH electrical rates as well as the SONET and SDH electrical rates of up to 155 Mbit/s. The growing demand for Ethernet-based services to small and medium sized enterprises is driving the need for new, cost-effective transmission technologies such as Ethernet-over-TDM. This in turn creates the need for solutions to test traditional TDM services with packet-based Ethernet test functions. The combined test capabilities of the FTB-8105 Transport Blazer and the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer modules provide customers with an integrated test solution to efficiently achieve such deployments. DSn/PDH and SONET/SDH Service Turn-up and Troubleshooting The FTB-8105 Transport Blazer module offers a wide range of TDM and SONET/SDH test functions, allowing users to perform tests ranging from simple bit error rate (BER) testing to advanced characterization and troubleshooting procedures. These functions include: Mixed and bulk payload generation and analysis from 64 kbit/s to 155 Mbit/s High-order mappings: STS-1/3c and AU-3/AU-4 Low-order mappings: VT1.5/2/6 and VC-11/12/2/3 Section/RS, line/MS, high-order (HO) and low-order (LO) path overhead manipulation and monitoring Section/RS, line/MS, high-order and low-order path alarm/error generation and monitoring High-order and low-order pointer generation and monitoring Tandem connection monitoring Performance monitoring: G.821, G.826, G.828, G.829, M.2100, M.2101 Frequency analysis and power measurement Frequency offset generation Automatic protection switching and service disruption time measurements Round-trip delay measurements Independent transmitter and receiver testing Through mode analysis Dual DS1/DS3 receiver testing
