Overview

The widespread availability of exciting new applications like HD video streaming, mobile social media, e-commerce, on-line banking, Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) have been fueling the need for more bandwidth for several years now. Many are available as cloud services, and numerous data centers are being built to support this need.

In the new standards 802.3bs and 802.3cd IEEE has defined 400GE and 200GE data rates while 802.3cd also defines new, more efficient versions of 100GE and 50 GE.

Data center network equipment are typically implemented as very flexible solutions that support several of the new rates from 400 GE to 10GE from one port. When verifying the performance of these products, all rates need to be tested.

Xena’s 7-speed dual-media test module (Thor-400G-7S-1P) was designed for this purpose. Installed in a ValkyrieBay or ValkyrieCompact chassis, it provides advancedEthernet test capabilities up to Layer 3 for verifying both new and existing Ethernet rates in the range from 10 Gigabit/s to 400 Gigabit/s: 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE 100GE, 200GE and 400GE. The module supports the latest high-speed Ethernet standards 802.3bs and 802.3cd, as well as legacy standards on QSFP-DD and QSFP56 interfacesoptical transceivers and DACs.
