The FTB-300 Universal Test System (UTS) provides a simple, yet efficient way to perform multiple advanced test operations in outside plant installation, maintenance and troubleshooting. The unique FTB-300 UTS combines a series of high-performance test modules in a powerful platform. The test set simultaneously houses up to three field-interchangeable modules. Its PC architecture runs the Windows 95 operating system as well as a complete test application software to provide maximum processing capability right where you need it the most: in the field. The power of a UTS lies in its capability to evolve with technology and your needs; therefore, the FTB-300 UTS provides you with the widest selection of test modules available. From power readings and OTDR testing to optical switching and optical spectrum analysis, the FTB-300 UTS does it all. And the family of plug-and-play modules continues to grow with the continuous introduction of new test modules.

A rugged, portable field unit The FTB-300 UTS is designed to resist the rigors of the worst field conditions as well as stand the test of time. The unit offers shock-proof casing to withstand drops and vibrations. The large, sturdy touchscreen is resistant to shock,water, dust, and common chemicals. The outershell is waterproof with sealed joints, and door panels protect connectors, ports, and the floppy disk drive. The FTB-300 UTS also complies to all industry standards.

Efficient, professional field testing The FTB-300 UTS puts all the necessary tools in hand for increased productivity. All application software required to operate the different test modules are integrated into a single software: ToolBox 5. This unique user interface gives the operator instant access to all test modules in a true multi- tasking environment, thus increasing test procedure efficiency. The uniform software presentation for all test modules makes it easy to learn and remember. As these acquired skills apply from one module to another, training costs are significantly reduced and users will not be lost without their manual. All the tools at your fingertips Novices and experts agree that the FTB-300 UTS unique touchscreen provides unsurpassed ease of use. Users no longer find themselves lost in an endless maze of submenus since all functions are activated directly on screen with the touch of a finger. Flexible data storage The FTB-300 UTS standard hard drive provides internal storage capacity for tens of thousands of test results. Data storage options also include an internal floppy disk drive and PCMCIA memory card. Compatible with handheld test sets The FTB-300 UTS works hand in hand with existing EXFO handheld instruments such as power meters, sources, and talk sets. Some handheld power meters or loss test sets can even download data to the FTB-300 UTS via a serial link or send messages through the fiber under test. The UTS then becomes an integral player on an efficient fiber-optic test team.

OTDR or loss testing on hundreds of ribbonized fibers can be significantly accelerated with the use of the 1x12 optical switch and OTDR modules. Such large amounts of data can then be handled through advanced software tools, such as the batch processor and cable reportgenerator, which allow you to complete the task in a fraction of the time usually required. Processing power in the field The FTB-300 UTS relies on PC-based processing and a complete test application software to make your data acquisition more productive. This processing power lets you perform on location the most complex test operations, as well as data analysis, documentation, and archiving with the test set.

The FTB-300 UTS also supports external peripherals such as a printer, VGA monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Hence, the Universal Test System can even replace a portable PC. Print traces and reports at all times The report generator enables the production of professional test reports directly from the FTB-300 UTS. With the unique touchscreen keyboard, you can document test results in the harshest field conditions. Printouts can be customized to include traces and graphs, tables of results, comment notepads, test parameters, and more. Both fiber and cable reports can be generated. Reports can either be printed individually or in a batch to save time. The trace preview window aids file selection before printing.
