This unit
The EXFO FTB-7200D-12CD-23B is a dual-wavelength optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) module engineered for comprehensive fiber network testing across LAN/WAN and access applications. This unit combines singlemode and multimode capabilities in a portable form factor compatible with EXFO platforms including the FTB-200, FTB-2/FTB-2 Pro, and FTB-500. The module delivers extended singlemode reach to 260 km paired with multimode coverage to 40 km, supporting rapid fault location and loss characterization with dead zones as low as 0.8 m to 1 m and acquisition times optimized for field efficiency.

Exfo FTB-7200D-12CD-23B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo FTB-7200D-12CD-23B. 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-7200D-12CD-23B 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.
