Description:
With the advent of Next-Generation SONET/SDH technologies, such as generic framing procedure (GFP) and virtual concatenation (VCAT), service providers now have a cost-effective means of introducing new revenue-generating, Ethernet-based transport services on existing SONET/SDH infrastructures. This opportunity in turn creates the need for test solutions that can help ensure proper deployment, operation and maintenance of both standard SONET/SDH circuits, and new Ethernet based transport services.
EXFO's FTB-8120 (2.5 Gb/s) and FTB-8130 (10 Gb/s) Transport Blazer test modules combine advanced DSn/PDH, SONET/SDH and Next-Gen SONET/SDH interfaces and functions in a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple, purpose-built test platforms when commissioning or troubleshooting SONET/SDH services and new data-aware SONET/SDH circuits. |
Features:
 DS0/E0 to OC-192/STM-64 testing in a single module
Supports SONET, SDH, DSn, PDH and Next-Generation SONET/SDH
Ethernet-over-SONET/SDH (EoS) testing via optional support for GFP, VCAT and LCAS
SmartMode signal structure discovery for rates of up to 10 Gb/s, with simultaneous monitoring of all discovered STS/AU and user selected VT/TUs channels
Intuitive, feature-rich user interface (UI) with available automated test scripting and available multi-user remote management capabilities
Supported on FTB-200 and FTB-400 platforms, optimizing capital expenditures
