The Exfo FTB-200 is a compact, modular platform for optical layer diagnostics across access, metro, and FTTx networks. Two field-interchangeable module slots enable OTDR, optical loss testing, optical spectrum analysis, and Ethernet/transport layer analysis in a single instrument. The 6.5-inch color TFT touchscreen (640 × 480 pixels) delivers sunlight-readable performance, while Windows CE/Mobile OS and 4-second on-time ensure rapid field deployment. Rugged construction meets GR-196-CORE durability standards with waterproof housing, sealed connections, and resistance to shock, water, dust, and common chemicals. Extended battery life reaches 8 hours on rechargeable Li-Ion cells (3-hour standard recharge). Dimensions of 322 × 197 × 109 mm and 2.2 kg weight support extended field work.
