Exfo has added fibre channel support to its recently introduced IQS-8120NGE and IQS-8130NGE Power Blazer multiservice test modules, simplifying the testing of multiservice products by network equipment vendors.
In addition to offering SDH/SONET/OTN, next-gen SDH/SONET and Ethernet testing capabilities up to 10/10,7 Gbps, the modules now offer optional support for 1x, 2x, 4x and 10x fibre channel rates. This extended offering addresses the stringent testing requirements for multiservice products by system verification, R&D and manufacturing groups, allowing them to perform automation along with test and troubleshooting routines on network equipment that supports different protocols on the same interface.
The modules provide the versatility to support either single- or multi-application testing capabilities on a single module, combined with Exfo's unified architecture which can concurrently support physical layer testing modules along with transport and datacom testing modules.
In line with the offering of user-friendly and future-proof test solutions, fibre channel support is provided as a software option on the IQS-8120NGE and IQS-8130NGE modules, allowing network equipment manufacturers to add the functionality in line with their testing timeline and customise their test solution to their exact requirements, using the least amount of hardware but without compromising on functionality.
