EXFO FTBx-570 - Single-ended dispersion analyzer

The FTBx-570 is the industry’s only single-ended CD/PMD tester, delivering fast, accurate chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion results in under 30 seconds from one end of the fiber. Compact, portable, and fully automated, it’s ideal for qualifying 400G/800G+ networks with minimal operational cost.

The only solution for ultra-fast, single-ended fiber characterization.

Designed for high-speed metro, core, DCI, and mobile xHaul networks, the FTBx-570 enables full CD and PMD testing from one end of the link — eliminating the need for two technicians or multiple truck rolls.

  • Mobile front/mid/backhaul (xHaul) testing
  • Full fiber characterization with OTDR + OLTS

Why Single-Ended Testing?

Traditional double-ended CD/PMD testing requires coordination, travel, and duplicate equipment. The FTBx-570 cuts CAPEX and OPEX by enabling one technician, one visit, one platform to complete accurate dispersion analysis — without compromise.
