Go ahead, put 800G technologies to the test!

Be ready for deployment with reliable test solutions that put 800G technologies to the test by accurately simulating real-world conditions. Make sure components and equipment are compliant with the latest industry standards, are live-network ready and 800GE interoperable.

When 800G DSPs are integrated within transceivers, it’s important to ensure they can transmit signals reliably as well as accurately break out 800G signals.

The FTBx-88800 Series validates 800G signal-breakout accuracy across multiple configurations (i.e., 1x 800GE, 2x 400GE, 8x 100GE), a critical step in evaluating DSPs during development and prior to manufacturing.

Smaller form factors, reduced cost, lower power and the ability to support new, faster speeds are constantly top of mind for transceiver vendors—and their customers. To deliver those check-box items, transceiver vendors must ensure that onboard DSPs are working properly within their optics.

With the FTBx-88800 Series, perform FEC testing and test various DSP properties—including verifying signal-breakout capability of 800G transceivers. With support for both QSFP-DD and OSFP optics on the FTBx-88801, EXFO delivers the ability to test both types of 800G optics on the same test solution. The FTBx-88800 Series is also the first compact, portable validation tool for 800ZR, 400ZR and OpenZR+ coherent pluggables (QSFP-DD and OSFP). Empower teams to validate DSPs and transceivers with confidence, knowing EXFO-expertise is behind every intuitive GUI and test process.

Transport-technology hardware requires thorough testing to support consistent, stable interconnections between switches and other hardware—both within and between networks.

With the FTBx-88800 Series, set automated routines that test every aspect of a switch by generating layer 2 MAC-layer traffic across ports to ensure that network alarms are working accurately. Experience solutions that leverage the power of automation to ensure high-quality and cost-effective 800G testing programs.

Reliable, predictable performance between and within data centers is critical. Hyperscalers’ mission-critical, data-center storage applications rely heavily on stable, reliable Ethernet links as their communications backbones.

Simulate real-world conditions and put 800G technologies to the test with the FTBx-88800 Series. Includes breakout signal testing—especially important within high-density environments like data centers. Implement 800G reliably with test solutions equipped with built-in knowledge and easy-to-interpret GUIs.

Discover the FTBx-88800 Series

The network communications industry is migrating once again—this time the shift is to 800G. Now the rush is on to develop and validate a new wave of high-speed devices. The FTBx-88800 Series empowers transceiver developers, chip makers, equipment vendors and data centers to confidently transition their solutions from lab to fab as they accelerate into hyperdrive with 800G.

Take 800G testing from lab to lab

Another industry first! This time EXFO delivers the industry's first portable, compact 800G test solution. Combine the FTBx-88800 Series with the latest version of EXFO’s FTB-1 Pro portable platform and easily move our 800G test solution within the lab—or from lab to lab—for the utmost in test flexibility and efficiency.

Validate disaggregated 800G signals with confidence

Breakout signal testing is especially important within high-density environments like data centers. Once 800G is rolled out into these live network environments, finding faulty signal-breakout locations could be like finding a needle in a haystack. Validate 800G signal-breakout accuracy across multiple configurations (i.e., 1x 800GE, 2x 400GE, 8x 100GE) with the FTBx-88800 Series.

OSFP and QSFP-DD test ports

The FTBx-88800 Series offers a mix of OSFP and QSFP-DD test ports.

Need to test OSFP and QSFP? Then your choice is the FTBx-88801, featuring 1x OSFP port and 1x QSFP-DD port.
Need to test only QSFP-DD? Then choose the FTBx-88800 with its 2x QSFP-DD ports.

Pair either test module with the latest FTB-1 Pro and get the flexibility of the industry’s first compact, portable 800G test solution. Whichever test module you choose, we’ve got the network test solution that best fits your lab’s 800G testing requirements.

Support for 800ZR optics

Coherent transceivers have become indispensable in long-haul data center and metro applications. Amidst the rapid pace of technological progress, coherent optics are also advancing, exemplified recently by the significant leap to 800ZR. This transition represents a crucial milestone in the development of high-speed communication networks, offering unprecedented levels of bandwidth and performance. EXFO’s FTBx-88800 test solution now supports 800ZR optics, making it the first portable test solution to support this cutting-edge technology, and the ideal choice for R&D and lab applications.
