New multirate module creates field portable solution for testing to 100G

24-05-2017 | Anritsu | Test & Measurement

Anritsu Corporation has released a 100G multirate module for its Network Master Pro MT1000A all-in-one tester supporting interface rates from 10Mbps to 100Gbps, and technologies including Ethernet, OTN, SDH/SONET, fibre channel, and CPRI/OBSAI. Integrating the new 100G module with existing OTDR and CPRI RF modules in the MT1000A main unit provides field engineers and technicians with what is claimed to be the industry’s first handheld solution covering all current testing needs for data centers, and core, metro, access, mobile backhaul and mobile fronthaul networks. With the module installed, the device claims to support more interface standards than any other handheld transport tester on the market. The all-in-one tester meets requirements for CFP4/QSFP28 (100GbE/OTU4), QSFP+ (40GbE/OTU3), SFP28 (25GbE), SFP+/SFP (GbE-10GbE/OTU1-OTU2/STM1-64/OC3-192/1GFC-16GFC/CPRI1-8/OBSAI1-4), and RJ45 (10Mbps to 1Gbps). Its flexible configurations support field upgradability across testing technologies, providing a versatile upgrade path and future-proof investment. Not only does the module support 25G Ethernet and 100G Ethernet, it also provides a large depth of OTN mappings to client signals, including three levels of ODU Multi-Stage mappings. This comprehensive test capability allows engineers and technicians to keep pace with emerging networking requirements.
