Stay On Top of Your Network Quality. Always. These products are used as fixed test equipment (as opposed to portable), serving as remote test resources for the mobile workforce. Through optical switching and operating from a network node, they centralize, automate and simplify the execution of various fiber tests commonly performed throughout the different phases of the network lifecycle. Built on EXFO's world-leading OTDR technology, these products qualify, certify, activate, troubleshoot and monitor any point-to-point (P2P) or point-to-multipoint (P2MP) network link. Thanks to their small form factor, high port density, low-power consumption and carrier-class design, they can be installed at locations where a large quantity of fiber-optic cables converge in access networks, whether at a central office (CO), a point of presence (POP) or a local exchange site. These innovative solutions can also be integrated into any network management system, using a full set of documented APIs.

Power meters are part of the toolbox essentials for all technicians installing or maintaining any type of fiber networks. There are general-purpose power meters, semi-automated ones, as well as power meters optimized for certain types of networks, such as FTTx or LANWAN architectures. It’s a matter of choosing the right gear for the need. In-Line Optical Power Meter Option Some OTDRs are also equipped with the in-line optical power meter option; visit our OTDR and iOLM testing page to learn about these products.

It's a fact: dirty andor damaged fiber connectors are one of the most common cause of optical network problems. And in today's context where operators must speed up their fiber deployment and operate under amplified OPEX pressure, any network failure prevented can make a difference. Whether you are working with single-fiber or multifiber connectors, including MPO and MTP™, or with various infrastructures (FTTx, FTTA, DAS and small cells or data centers), proper connector inspection is an essential best practice for fiber testing and installation, which must be included in all daily workflow procedures. EXFO's automated and intelligent fiber inspection solutions are designed to speed up and simplify this critical step to any fiber testing and help you deploy faster, more reliable fiber networks. Did you know you could inspect bulkhead and patchcords without swapping tips? Here's how.

The MPC-100 is an innovative optical power checker enabling smart device connectivity via Bluetooth. Paired with the FIP-425B or FIP-435B Wi-Fi inspection probes, this easy-to-use power checker lets you take full advantage of smart device connectivity. You can manage all your results in one place and lower the cost of ownership by utilizing your smart device to its full potential. Benefits of the MPC-100 at a glance: Pocket-sized, cost-effective unit for use anywhere. Can be used as a stand-alone instrument or connected to a smart device.

Automatically uses the proper calibration parameters when combined with the FLS-300 or FOT-300 source units. With a high-power option and 10 calibrated wavelengths, the FPM-300 is the most complete, yet simple power meter available. Combined with the FLS-300 or FOT-300 source units, which can transmit with a wavelength-identification digital encrypted protocol, the FPM-300 automatically uses the proper calibration parameters. This auto-wavelength recognition feature reduces the need for communication between the two technicians and decreases the potential for error. An FTTx Test Solution This product is part of EXFO's series of FTTx optical test products. It allows for the testing of passive optical networks (PONs) at the three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) used in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and complies with the ITU-T G.983 and G.984 Recommendation series and the IEEE 802.3ah standard. Distant Referencing Signal encrypting can also give the receiving end information on the power to be used as reference, helping ensure efficient referencing, even when the two units are far apart. No Offset Nulling Thanks to its unique design, the FPM-300 Power Meter reduces measurement time in typical measurement situations, as the need for an offset nulling is eliminated.

Bandwidth demand keeps increasing, thanks to the growing popularity of data-hungry applications such as video-on-demand, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and videoconferencing. Service providers therefore need to deploy faster, more reliable networks, using novel technologies such as reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADM) or 40G networks. Optical Spectrum Analyzers to Characterize CWDM and DWDM Networks Reducing downtime in CWDM and DWDM networks calls for an accurate measurement of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) . However, ROADM and 40 Gbits networks present a new and unique challenge, as the existing OSNR measurement methods yield incorrect results. EXFO’s WDM-Aware method is the answer to this new challenge, providing reliable i-in-band OSNR measurement on a per-channel basis.
