In this video, EXFO SME François Marcotte demonstrates mixed mapping capabilities in the FTBx-88200NGE. Mixed mapping speeds up verification by enabling lab techs to fill and test the entire 100G bandwidth of the OTU4 frame and validate all channels simultaneously. This delivers maximum efficiency, while pushing the OTN equipment under test to the limit of its capacity. Watch this video to learn more.
