EXFO s IQS-8525/8535 Packet Blazer test modules deliver Fibre Channel testing at speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s (1200 MB/s) and bring FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 logical layer Fibre Channel testing to services carried via transport protocols such as DWDM, SONET/SDH and dark fiber. They provide valuable timing information as well as buffer credit estimation for Fibre Channel network deployment. These test modules support the full range of Fibre Channel interfaces (1x, 2x, 4x and 10x), offering flexibility to both manufacturing and software verification groups.
The IQS-8525/8535 modules also provide the option to enable EXFO s full test suite for Ethernet services at up to 10 Gbit/s, including Ethernet BER and RFC 2544 testing with VLAN support. They support a wide range of Ethernet interfaces, from 10 Mbit/s electrical to 10 Gbit/s optical.
The integration of Fibre Channel and Ethernet service testing at multiple rates brings the versatility, flexibility and affordability required by R&D, software verification and manufacturing groups.
