FTH-5000
The FTH-5000 fibre test head, formerly named the OTU-5000 Optical Test Unit, combines optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) and optical-switch technology to provide continuous OTDR monitoring of multiple fibres anywhere in the network. A single FTH-5000 unit can monitor fibres of 150km and more occupies only 1RU.
The FTH-5000 works with the VIAVI ONMSi solution to help automate and improve the monitoring of your network performance.
VIAVI is the worldwide leader in OTDR manufacturing and Optical Network Monitoring, receiving the coveted Frost & Sullivan Fibre Optics Test Equipment Market Leader Award for fibre-optic test equipment six years in a row.
