Description

Designed for manufacturing, R&D and network testing applications

Manufacturing and R&D: testing Gigabit Ethernet devices

Housed in EXFO’s IQS platform, the IQS-8510B Packet Blazer Ethernet Test Module brings a wide range of Gigabit Ethernet test capabilities to manufacturing and R&D environments. This module tests Ethernet traffic in its native format: 10/100/1000Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX or 1000Base-ZX for testing applications including Ethernet component testing, SONET/SDH hybrid multiplexers, switched Ethernet, VLANs, DWDM and FTTx systems.

  • Offers high port density (up to 20 ports per 5U mainframe) for parallel device testing and traffic generation
  • Combines with a wide range of IQS test modules, providing fully integrated physical and datacom-layer testing of Ethernet and Fibre Channel devices

Network service providers: remote Ethernet testing and monitoring

When configured for remote testing applications, the IQS-8510B enables carriers to ensure the reliability and performance of their Ethernet networks. This rack-mountable, central office (CO)-based module combines with its portable counterpart, the FTB-8510B Packet Blazer, to simplify and accelerate deployment of Ethernet services. This unique approach allows a single technician to perform end-to-end testing of Ethernet circuits.

  • Minimizes time and cost of service turn-up and troubleshooting
  • Facilitates resource and test equipment management
  • Delivers network testing flexibility
  • UDP and IP header integrity validation
  • Provides consistency for service qualification
