This unit
The Exfo FTB-7300E is a single-mode OTDR module engineered for fiber characterization, fault location, and network performance validation across FTTx, PON, and MDU deployments. It delivers precise measurements through high-port-count splitters, supports in-service troubleshooting on active networks, and integrates with EXFO's modular test platforms for accelerated field operations.

Exfo FTB-7300E — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo FTB-7300E. 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-7300E 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.

This Exfo FTB-7300E is listed at $2,670. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Exfo FTB-7300E calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Exfo FTB-7300E is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument 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. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
