EXFO FTB-5500B Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) Analyzer Module

The EXFO FTB-5500B PMD Analyzer module is designed for ultra-long-haul and 40 Gbit/s applications. It provides you with the speed, accuracy and high performance you need to ensure high-quality network services. Particularly important in multichannel transmission and as rates reach 40 Gbit/s and higher, second-order PMD is derived from the measured PMD value. EXFO’s software provides second-order PMD delay and coefficient values for telecom fibers. These values allow you to characterize fibers and cables more precisely than simple PMD and better control the transmission quality of high-speed systems. The Exfo FTB-5500B has unique technology that allows for both the auto-correlation and cross-correlation to be known. Therefore, any spectral shape of source can be used. The auto-correlation peak is thus removed, and higher accuracy and resolution are obtained. PMD of 0 ps can be measured. In addition, a signal transmitted through EDFAs can be analyzed for total link PMD. Specifications. Wavelength range: 1260 to 1675 nm (O to U band). Measurement range: 0 to 115 ps. Sensitivity (Typical, for C band. May be increased with averaging. With the FLS-5800, the typical dynamic range is 47 dB.): –45 dBm. Measuring time: 4.5 s (for any PMD value). Absolute uncertainty (strong mode coupling), (ps) ± (0.020 + 2 % of PMD). Allows measurement through EDFA Yes (above 120 EDFAs).

Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

dBm
Optical power referenced to 1 millimatt

Multimode Fiber
Multimode Fiber has a large core (almost always 62.5 microns - a micron is one one millionth of a meter - but sometimes 50 microns) and is used with LED sources at wavelengths of 850 and 1300 nm for short distance, lower speed networks like LANs. Both multimode and singlemode fiber have an outside diameter of 125 microns - about 5 thousandths of an inch - just slightly larger than a human hair.

Power Repeatability
Power Repeatability is the random uncertainty in reproducing the power level after changing and re-setting the power level. The power repeatability is ± half the span (in dB) between the highest and lowest actual power. Note: - The long-term power repeatability can be obtained by taken the power repeatability and power stability into account.

Refractive Index
The refractive index or index of refraction of a substance is a measure of the speed of light in that substance. It is expressed as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum relative to that in the considered medium. The velocity at which light travels in vacuum is a physical constant, and the fastest speed at which energy or information can be transferred. However, light travels slower through any given material, or medium, that is not vacuum.

Total insertion loss
A measure of the loss of light within an optical component
