One-touch iOptics+ transceiver validation with automated detection and complete pass/fail analysis for high-volume transceiver testing and recovery of usable optics in seconds.
HyperBlazer Series - 800G transceiver and network testing for data center and DCI
Overview
HyperBlazer is a portable 100GE–800GE test solution for data centers and DCI. Validate, reclaim, reuse QSFP-DD, OSFP, OSFP-RHS, coherent optics and cables with iOptics+, turn up DCI links with guided Ethernet Services, gain cloud visibility with EXFO Exchange.
Applications
Intra-data center builds and maintenance
Data center interconnect turn up and troubleshooting
Campus data center interconnect (DCI)
Metro/long haul DCI
Transceiver validation
Highlights
From startup to testing in seconds
HyperBlazer simplifies the entire high-speed Ethernet and coherent testing workflow. Experience a guided, rate-first approach that recognizes connected transceivers and configuration status, reduces manual setup, and helps technicians get tests right the first time.
- Coherent optics: Validate 400ZR and 800ZR transceivers.
- Breakout configurations: Test high-speed breakout links within the same workflow.
- Cable testing: Validate DAC, AOC, and AEC cables.
- Faster test selection: Guided workflows help technicians get to the right test quickly, without switching applications.
With the right tests easier to find and quicker to launch, HyperBlazer accelerates the path from connection to high-performing data center networks.
Accelerate data center build-outs
In AI-driven data centers, deployment speed depends on validating large volumes of transceivers quickly and accurately. HyperBlazer enables fast, automated transceiver and cable validation (including breakouts) in seconds with iOptics+. This makes it easier to validate optics at scale before they are installed, replaced, or escalated as faulty—to ultimately reclaim usable optics and return them back to inventory.
Save time: check transceiver health before long-duration BERT
For turning up data center interconnections, long-duration BER testing is critical—but valuable time is wasted if basic transceiver issues are missed before testing begins. HyperBlazer combines Ethernet Services, coherent testing, a 10-second Transceiver Quick Check, and BERT workflows in one portable solution, helping technicians validate transceivers, reduce manual setup, and move into 12- to 24-hour validation efficiently and with greater confidence. The result is a simpler path to reliable high-speed link activation.
Stay connected from field to cloud
Built on the FTB Duo modular platform, HyperBlazer supports always-on connectivity and direct access to EXFO Exchange, a cloud-based, test-results management solution. Test configurations, job data, and results can be easily shared between field teams, supervisors, and cloud workspaces—improving collaboration, reporting, compliance, and first-time-right performance. When a test is completed, a report is generated and automatically uploaded to the cloud—no manual steps involved.
