Product Overview

The EXFO FTB-5500B Polarisation Mode Dispersion (PMD) Analyser is a specialised optical test module designed to measure polarisation mode dispersion in optical fibres across a wide wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1675 nm, covering the O to U bands.

Designed for fibre characterisation and certification, the FTB-5500B uses an interferometric measurement method to deliver fast, accurate PMD measurements. With a measuring time of approximately 4.5 seconds, it is suitable for testing optical fibre links in high-capacity telecommunications networks.

The analyser supports measurements through cascaded erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) and can estimate second-order PMD for DWDM fibre certification. Its wide wavelength coverage and high dynamic range make it suitable for advanced optical network testing and fibre qualification.

Key Features

  • Wide wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1675 nm, covering O to U bands.
  • PMD measurement range from 0 to 115 ps.
  • High dynamic range of over 50 dB typical.
  • Fast measurement time of approximately 4.5 seconds.
  • High sensitivity of –45 dBm.
  • Interferometric measurement method compliant with IEC and TIA requirements, as specified.
  • Supports PMD measurement through cascaded EDFAs.
  • Second-order PMD estimation for DWDM fibre certification.
