The EXFO FTB-880V2 is a modular multi-service test module engineered for the FTB-1 Pro platform, delivering comprehensive testing across legacy and modern network technologies. This field-portable instrument supports DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, Fibre Channel, CPRI, and packet synchronization protocols with dual GigE and 10 GigE ports. Testing speeds range up to 10 Gbps across multiple protocols, with support for up to 100 Gbit/s on CPRI and Ethernet interfaces—extending to 111.81 Gbit/s when paired with the FTB-1 Pro platform.
