The EXFO FTB-1 is a portable modular mainframe platform optimised for fast, powerful, dedicated FTTH, Ethernet, TDM, and multiservice test applications in the field. Designed to empower frontline technicians, the FTB-1 accepts interchangeable FTB-series test modules — including OTDR, Ethernet, and multiservice modules — making it a highly versatile instrument for network infrastructure construction, activation, and troubleshooting.

The platform features a Windows Embedded Standard operating system running on an Intel ATOM processor, providing PC-like flexibility including support for third-party applications, remote assistance, and connectivity via USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The built-in optical power meter and optional Visual Fault Locator (VFL) allow the FTB-1 to locate fibre faults over distances of up to 5 km by producing a visible red glow at the fault location on both singlemode and multimode fibres.

EXFO Connect compatibility provides end-to-end operational visibility, automated asset management, and centralised reporting across an entire test instrument pool.
