“EXFO is trusted by all major hyperscalers to support the accelerated pace of data center and network construction happening today,” said Etienne Gagnon, general manager of Testing and Measurement at EXFO. “Our high-fiber solution, now enhanced with the only native 24-fiber testers on the market, simplifies testing and enables faster scaling to give our customers a competitive edge in responding to the exponential growth in demand driven by AI.”
The two new products added today to EXFO’s high-fiber data center solution—the EXFO FTB-Lite 975 bidirectional simplex, duplex, and multifiber certifier and the new PXM/LXM duplex and multifiber OLTS (Optical Loss Test Suite)—will enable technicians and engineers to easily, accurately, and quickly meet testing requirements inside and outside data centers, from high-volume certification to troubleshooting.
The FTB-Lite 975 offers end-to-end automation, bidirectional non-contact testing, and ORL visibility, plus one-touch SmartRef™ for validation and troubleshooting with visual diagnostics. EXFO's PXM/LXM is the essential Level 1 OLTS tester, a leading solution in 24-fiber environments. EXFO's high-fiber-count solution also includes the FIP-500, the industry's first AI-powered endpoint analyzer for simplex, duplex, and multifiber connectors.
With its innovative testers that anchor Tier 1 and Tier 2 high-fiber-count testing, along with EXFO Exchange to automatically upload test results to the cloud, EXFO's high-fiber-count data center solution uniquely encompasses Tier 1 OLTS certification, Tier 2 ORL (Optical Return Loss) and OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) troubleshooting across all fiber counts up to 24 fibers, ensuring builds are completed on time, to specification, and within budget.
EXFO's latest testing solution addresses the challenges of high-fiber deployments, including more connectors and adapters, more links to test, document and certify, and more fiber handling with potential for human error, all under the pressure of tighter construction deadlines for high-density data centers.
