EXFO’s FTB Lite 975 is designed to meet the challenges of providers accelerating fiber deployments while dealing with a tighter experienced technician labor pool. As a fully automated, always-connected solution combining bidirectional multi-fiber Tier-1 OLTS certification and Tier-2 OTDR/iOLM-ready capabilities in a single compact platform, the FTB Lite 975 eliminates the traditional disconnect between certification and troubleshooting. Instead of carrying multiple instruments, performing separate workflows, and manually managing results, technicians can certify, troubleshoot, document, and close out jobs from one device. The FTB Lite 975 supports simplex, duplex, and multi-fiber certification up to 24 fibers on the same platform. FTB Lite 975 reduces operational expenses through end-to-end automation. Features like SmartRef™ one-touch referencing automates one of the most error-prone steps of certification testing, while FasTesT™ touchless testing eliminates repetitive user actions and accelerates execution.
