This unit
The Exfo FTB-200 is a compact, modular platform for optical layer diagnostics across access, metro, and FTTx networks. Two field-interchangeable module slots enable OTDR, optical loss testing, optical spectrum analysis, and Ethernet/transport layer analysis in a single instrument. The 6.5-inch color TFT touchscreen (640 × 480 pixels) delivers sunlight-readable performance, while Windows CE/Mobile OS and 4-second on-time ensure rapid field deployment.
Rugged construction meets GR-196-CORE durability standards with waterproof housing, sealed connections, and resistance to shock, water, dust, and common chemicals. Extended battery life reaches 8 hours on rechargeable Li-Ion cells (3-hour standard recharge). Dimensions of 322 × 197 × 109 mm and 2.2 kg weight support extended field work.

Exfo FTB-200 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo FTB-200. Calibration covers distance accuracy verified against a calibrated fiber length reference, event loss measurement accuracy at splice and connector events, dead zone (event and attenuation) at rated pulse width, dynamic range verification at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, backscatter coefficient calibration, and return loss measurement accuracy. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Exfo FTB-200 faults: optical port connector damage or contamination, battery failure, display damage from field use, module failure on FTB or MTS platforms, calibration drift. Most field OTDRs fail due to physical damage. On modular platforms (EXFO FTB, Viavi MTS), individual module failures are serviced without replacing the entire mainframe. Optical port cleaning resolves many apparent measurement faults before mechanical repair is needed.
