EXFO FTBx-88260 - 1G to 100G network tester

The FTBx-88260 is a high-performance multiservice test module covering data rates from 10 M to 100 G, with support for 100ZR coherent interfaces. It delivers flexible, future-proof testing via the Open Transceiver System (OTS), enabling you to adapt to evolving network technologies without replacing the test unit. With OTS compatibility, you can fit dual SFP28, dual QSFP28, or single CFP4 transceivers into one module. Dual-port Ethernet testing up to 50GE is available, while electrical and optical interfaces cover 10 M up to 100G. Timing and synchronization functions such as built-in GPS, 1588 PTP/SyncE and wander/time-error testing round out the capabilities.

Applications

This test solution is ideal for Ethernet/IP network validation and troubleshooting, 5G transport (fronthaul, midhaul, backhaul) testing, and data-centre environments. It supports both field and lab platforms, adapting to hot-swap or multi-module rack capabilities.

Why It Matters

The FTBx-88260 enables operators, contractors and test engineers to stay ahead of network evolution by combining modularity, broad interface support and high-speed performance in one cost-effective solution. It helps you reduce equipment churn, streamline workflows and validate modern high-speed networks with confidence.
