10 Gbps Ethernet field tester

13 October 2010 Test & Measurement

Anritsu has developed a new 10 Gbps Ethernet test option for its all-round CMA 3000 field tester. The new Ethernet option supports dual port testing at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. At 10 Gbps the option comes in a single-port and a dual-port version. The new option allows both active out-of-service testing with one transmitter and one receiver and in-service bidirectional monitoring of Ethernet links in dual-port configurations.

Further options support testing of VoIP, SDH, E3, E4 and V-series interface lines, which together with the powerful E1 test capabilities for the basic CMA 3000 makes it a very versatile test solution. For out-of-service installation and commissioning testing of Ethernet links, the CMA 3000 provides statistical quality of service measurements that can be documented with professional reports. With the in-service monitoring capability the user can quickly verify that both sides of the Ethernet link are working properly at rates up to 10 Gbps with the new option for the CMA 3000.
