Test & Measurement


10 Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel test solution

20 August 2008 Test & Measurement

Exfo has launched the new IQS-8525 and OQS-8535 Packet Blazer modules, providing R&D, software verification and manufacturing groups with the versatility, flexibility and affordability required for Ethernet validation and Fibre Channel testing of network equipment.

Housed inside the IQS-500 or IQS-600 unified test platforms, these multiservice modules offer fully integrated multirate datacom testing. For Fibre Channel testing and performance analysis, the test modules support FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer configurations to execute traffic generation, BER testing, round-trip latency measurement and buffer-to-buffer credit estimation at full rate of 1 Gbps (100 MBps), 2 Gbps (200 MBps), 4 Gbps (400 MBps) and 10 Gbps (1000 MBps - IQS-8535 only).

Ethernet services performance validation is achieved using BER and RFC 2544 testing at full line rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps LAN/WAN (IQS-8535 only). As with all IQS modules, the 8525 and 8535 can be used in automated environments to facilitate repeatability.
