FTB-5500B and FTB-5800 PMD and CD Analyzers The Ultra-Long-Haul Advantage Now you can test whole links instead of only sections, reducing manipulation, error and testing time. Because filtering is done at the receiver end and not at the source, transmission through one-way devices such as isolators and EDFAs is possible. Tests have been performed through as many as 250 cascaded amplifiers over a link length of more than 12 000 km. The FLS-5800 CD/PMD Analyzer Source Advantage A single light source, the FLS-5800 CD/PMD Analyzer Source, can help you characterize CD and PMD—reducing testing...
