Ixia Offers First 50 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Validation Test

Ixia introduced its 50GbE validation solution based on its Xcellon-Multis family of load module.

The 50GbE capabilities on Ixia’s Xcellon-Multis QSFP28 follow the company’s introduction of the world’s only shipping 25GbE solution in April 2015, based on the field tested Xcellon-Multis platform.

The company said it has already successfully connected its Xcellon-Multis QSFP28 load modules over copper media and demonstrated full line rate 50GbE interoperability with the ConnectX-4 Dual-Port network interface adapter and LinkX 50 Gbps direct attached copper cables from Mellanox Technologies.

“Ixia has developed and introduced the world’s first validation solutions for many Ethernet technologies, including 100, 40, 25 and now 50-Gigabit Ethernet,” said Sunil Kalidindi, Vice President of Product Management at Ixia.
