Spot on, every time! Experience the fastest and most reliable inspection of MPO and single-fiber connectors. This product reveal will walk you through all the innovative features designed to remove all the obstacles in inspecting optical connectors.

Ever burnt an SFP transceiver with an uncontrolled OTDR pulse? Particularly helpful for passive DWDM networks, EXFO’s patented solution prevents this risk. It guarantees no damage to the SFP while troubleshooting or verifying a link, which means cost savings and faster time to recovery.

The road to 800GE connectivity is paved with test solutions that can validate the next-generation devices supporting convergence of high-rate carrier transport and data center speeds and feeds, while still ensuring interoperability with legacy solutions. In this interview, Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy and Michael Scheppke, EXFO’s Vice President Global Labs and Manufacturing, discuss what’s driving data center transformation and how EXFO’s end-to-end, interoperable testing from 10/25GE through 800GE and from lab to live can help providers keep pace with webscale service demand.

The advent of 5G sees the replacement of purpose-built network equipment with the virtualization and cloudification of network functions. While bringing immense new flexibility to telecom network design, there is a corresponding loss of visibility, making it difficult to troubleshoot network performance. Because of cloudification, the end-user experience is no longer determined by network coverage and performance. In collaboration with Intel, EXFO has developed a full-stack service assurance solution that combines infrastructure observability with telecom-specific, AI-enabled analytics and anomaly detection. Data from Intel’s observability solution, Intel Platform Telemetry Insights, is paired with synthetic active test data and then fed to the analytics engine at the heart of the EXFO adaptive service assurance platform.

The electro-optical interdependencies driving the signaling for 400/800GE traffic have never been more closely aligned. Discover how to accelerate electrical validation of 400G/800G in compliance with standards as well as the verification of coherent optics for carriers, data centers and network manufacturers. EXFO’s advanced test solutions feature powerful, versatile and scalable capabilities, in portable and rackmounted platforms. The testers leverage a wide array of modules for optimal flexibility, including new support capabilities for CFP2-DCO.

The 5G opportunity is big, and also comes with big risks. 5G revenue depends on delivering a perfect user experience to earn the trust of enterprise and industrial customers. This video explains how EXFO's Nova adaptive service assurance empowers MNOs with the ability to see everything that's happening in the network, down to the level of individual user and device experience.
