Question

Can the FTBx-740C-DWC module have different ITU channel allocations depending on its hardware version?

Answer

Yes, the FTBx-740C-DWC module has different ITU channel allocations depending on its hardware version.

The module's specification sheet which is available on the EXFO website here always shows the latest hardware version's ITU channel allocation.

 

  • Version A initially only had the allocated ITU channel range of 17-61;
  • Version B added ITU 62 channel, so the ITU channel range is 17-62;
  • Version C added ITU 12-16 channels, so the ITU channel range is 12-62;
  • Version D (current) also has ITU channel range of 12-62;

 

If you want to verify the hardware version of your module then please contact Tech support with the module serial number and they will be able to confirm what hardware version it is.
