10 Gigabit Ethernet Test Solution provides complete Ethernet performance-assurance testign

22 March 2006 Test & Measurement

EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering has launched the FTB-8510G Packet Blazer for testing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interfaces in optical networks. Test capabilities like packet-jitter, traffic generation and analysis, and RFC 2544 (a well-established testing methodology that includes throughput, latency and frame-loss measurements) are readily available to thoroughly test Ethernet-based, Internet Protocol networks.

Using a flexible configuration, the FTB-8510G Packet Blazer can characterise local and/or wide area network physical interfaces (LAN PHY and/or WAN PHY) with the same test module at all available wavelengths. All interfaces are field-exchangeable and provide the suppleness to test any standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet access point in a network.

The FTB-8510G Packet Blazer is an interchangeable test module that is housed inside EXFO's widely-deployed FTB-400 universal test system (UTS). This system is ideally suited for field, central office and carrier lab applications.

The Packet Blazer tests Ethernet connectivity in its native format for LAN-to-LAN services delivered via ATM, frame relay, next-generation SONET/SDH, switched Ethernet, VLANs, dark fibre, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) or other means. It also features the company's unique EtherBERT technology that provides bit-error-rate testing of Ethernet interfaces.
