Network infrastructure planners must deal with skyrocketing demands for more bandwidth, including in the data center interconnect (DCI) or even in core and metro networks. Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) continue to push the limits of technology, developing increasingly innovative 400G solutions. Service providers are constantly expanding their networks, looking for more efficient and cost-effective ways to deploy those high-speed circuits. High-speed transceivers (pluggables) are being designed to be smaller and consume less power in order to meet the requirements of delivering high port density at a low cost. In the upcoming 400G world, transceiver testing is of critical importance whenever we are talking about QSFP-DD, OSFP, or even COBO. The industry is moving forward with smaller, advanced transceivers for shorter wavelengths and with lower power consumption. EXFO offers 400G solutions that are ready for today’s 400G transceivers while being future-proof. 400G switches are migrating quickly to advanced technologies with interfaces that will allow them to increase the port density in a 1RU at minimal cost.
Compatible with FTB-4 Pro Platform
The new, compact FTBx-88460 Power Blazer module offer a complete suite of 400G ecosystem testing capabilities, addressing early adopters’ requirements from in-lab innovation to testing in the field. In addition, when portability is needed the FTBx-88460 module can be inserted into the FTB-4 Pro. The module can also serve for rackmount applications, where not only one but two modules can be inserted into the high-performance LTB-8 rackmount chassis to deliver up to 800G of Ethernet traffic. The LTB-8 rackmount platform provides users with added versatility and power for today’s complex networks.
