The Exfo FTB-150-QUAD is a compact optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) engineered for field testing and troubleshooting of enterprise and private optical networks. Weighing 2.9 kg, this rugged unit features waterproof construction with sealed joints and protected ports, designed to withstand demanding deployment environments. The instrument supports four wavelengths—850 nm and 1300 nm for multimode fiber, plus 1310 nm and 1550 nm for singlemode fiber—enabling comprehensive fiber characterization across both fiber types.
