QUEBEC CITY, March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ:
EXFO, TSX: EXF), the global network test, data and analytics
experts, announced the launch of two new power meters for its
award-winning end-to-end R&D/lab and manufacturing solution.
These latest additions to the company's lab-grade test
orchestration portfolio help network equipment manufacturers (NEMs)
boost automation and efficiency when developing products at the
cutting edge of the telecommunications
industry.
The first power meter is based on a GeX detector that makes it
possible for NEMs to test the high output power of the industry's
standard iTLA and µiTLA assemblies, and the transceivers built
around them. The second uses a front-panel integrating cavity to
provide the wide numerical aperture NEMs need to test bare fiber
adapters, as well as multifiber MTP®1 and
MPO interfaces.
"The market is transforming very quickly and network equipment
manufacturers must adapt faster than ever, especially for the
testing of new product performance," said Stéphane Chabot, EXFO's
Vice-President, Test and Measurement. "EXFO's power meters help
industry innovators simplify and automate complex testing routines
so that they can deliver more, better and faster, and with less
resources. The new power meter module with integrated cavity is an
especially good example because it allows customers to greatly
reduce the complexity and testing time of MTP- and MPO-based
transceivers used in short-reach data center applications."
Combining the newly introduced FTBx-1750 power meters with other
test modules already available for the LTB-8 rackmount chassis,
like the FTBx-88200NGE Power Blazer or the recently introduced
FTBx-5245 Optical Spectrum Analyzer, brings even more flexibility
for network equipment manufacturers as they continue to optimize
their testing processes.
The new GeX power meter is also available in benchtop format as
part of the LTK-1 Benchtop Optical Kits, where it can be used as a
standalone instrument or combined with another power meter or
variable attenuator module, and EXFO's FIP-400B fiber inspection
probe to build a powerful and compact test solution.
EXFO will demonstrate the new FTBx-1750 Power Meter modules at
the 2017 edition of the Optical Networking and Communication
Conference & Exhibition (Booth #2725) in Los Angeles, CA from March 21‒24. For more
