Go ahead, put 800ZR and the coherent ecosystem to the test!

Be ready for deployment with reliable test solutions that put 1G to 800G and coherent 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.

Transceiver and cable developers need robust validation tools to ensure compliance and performance before and after mass production. Validating both grey and coherent optics requires advanced capabilities like breakout configurations (e.g., 2×400G, 4×200G, 8×100G), pre-emphasis adjustment, auto-negotiation, link training, and dual-port testing.

As part of the second wave of 800G technology, transceivers are incorporating more advanced features, driving the need for broader rate support—from 1G, 10G, 40G, 50G, and 100G up to 800G—as well as compatibility with protocols such as OTN and Fibre Channel.

EXFO’s FTBx-88810 Series delivers comprehensive transceiver validation across all rates—from 1G,10G to 800G—with protocol support for Ethernet, OTN, and Fibre Channel.

NEMs developing switches, routers, and transport systems often integrate their own transceivers. They must ensure performance, protocol compatibility, and multi-vendor interoperability—while validating multiple ports simultaneously and under full traffic load.

The FTBx-88810 Series provides NEMs with advanced, multiport testing that covers 1G to 800G and supports Ethernet, OTN, Fibre Channel, and coherent optics—enabling full system validation before and after production.

Hyperscalers must validate massive volumes of grey and coherent transceivers across high-density data center and DCI links—often involving breakout configurations and complex multi-vendor environments. Lab-to-live consistency is critical to avoid delays.

EXFO’s FTBx-88810 Series enables fast, scalable, and repeatable testing, with built-in automation and intuitive workflows that accelerate deployment and simplify troubleshooting from lab to field.

As network service providers and carrier labs transition to 400G and looking ahead to 800G, field validation now requires intuitive, evolutive and reliable test tools that deliver accurate results the first time—across rates from 1G to 800G. This efficiency reduces the need for technician intervention and significantly minimizes the time spent validating each link.

Coherent validation, dual-port testing, and full-rate coverage are essential. With the FTBx-88810 Series, EXFO empowers field teams with the industry’s most complete portable tester—covering 1G to 800G, including 400ZR, 800ZR, OTN and Fibre Channel—for confident, first-time-right deployments.
