EXFO Extends OTN Test Capabilities to 100G Ethernet Testing

EXFO has added optical transport network (OTN) testing capabilities to its FTB/IQS-85100G Packet Blazer 100G/40G Ethernet Test Modules. These include OTU4 (111.81 Gbps) and OTU3 (43.018 Gbps) full-line-rate testing, as well as framing and forward error correction (FEC) testing as per ITU-T G.709, enabling breakthrough-level qualification of 100G Ethernet transmission over OTN. These added capabilities are available through a software option for existing 85100G Packet Blazer modules, requiring no additional hardware and maximizing customers’ return on investment. EXFO will demonstrate these capabilities at the upcoming OFC event (booth 1134, March 23-25).
