The new CTP10 Component Test Platform and suite of modules
provides research scientists with accurate testing of a wide
variety of passive components in R&D or manufacturing
QUEBEC CITY, March 13, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc.
(NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF), the network test, monitoring and
analytics experts, released today the fastest test system for
insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) measurement for a wide
variety of passive components, including photonics integrated
circuits. Integrating cutting-edge technology from the recently
acquired Yenista Optics, EXFO's CTP10 can be used by research
scientists to extensively characterize components or in automated
mode for high volume production.
With the increasing demand for photonics integrated circuits
(PICs) composed of hundreds of passive components, and the constant
pressure to reduce network equipment costs, passive component
manufacturers are looking for effective testing solutions to reduce
their testing time without sacrificing accuracy and reliability.
With a capability to measure IL and RL in a single sweep up to 1000
nm/s, this is what the new CTP10 Component Test Platform offers
them.
"When EXFO acquired Yenista, the objective was to leverage their
expertise to bring some of the most innovative testing solutions
for the optical telecom industry," said Stéphane Chabot, EXFO's
Vice President, Test and Measurement. "EXFO's CTP10 offers R&D
and manufacturing teams working with photonics integrated circuits
and next-generation passive optical network components the
flexibility, accuracy and speed they need to test thousands of
components as required by their customers."
There will be a live demo of the CTP10 in Booth #2507 at the
Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) from
March 13 to 15 in San Diego, California.
