EXFO FTB-85100G

The first rugged and portable 100 Gbit/s Ethernet analyzer on the market, the FTB-85100G Packet Blazer enables teams to efficiently share the equipment in the lab, perform field trials and carry out early deployments, all with a single tester. Purpose-built for applications where thorough testing, portability, true ruggedness and ease of use are required, it offers powerful layer 1/2/3 traffic generation and analysis features to stress and validate network elements and services against demanding corner cases. The FTB-85100G supports multiple transceiver interfaces (CFP, CXP and QSFP) and offers unprecedented full-line-rate testing of the physical coding sublayer (PCS). Users can also generate and analyze 100 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s line rate Ethernet and IP packets, as well as perform comprehensive EtherBERT™ tests, all via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). With its complete range of test features and automation capabilities, the FTB-85100G can execute multilayer testing to rapidly validate physical-layer characteristics and accurately benchmark Ethernet/IP performance of equipment and services. Its flexible and scalable FPGA-based architecture ensures rapid and seamless incorporation of updates as the standard is ratified and refined moving forward, protecting your testing investment without sacrificing timely support of features and functions.
