Looking for innovative testing solutions for lab and manufacturing environments? The EXFO Optics has an array of industry-leading solutions that can greatly help in addressing parametric testing challenges.

EXFO’s Jean Marie Villain, Product Line Manager, introduces our Open Transceiver System (OTS) at ECOC 2018. Modular in design, the OTS enables compatibility between current or future high-speed transceivers and EXFO’s test platforms (lab and field). Inserts to test specific transceiver types, including those used in 400G systems (e.g., QSFP-DD, OSFP, COBO, and CFP8), eliminate the need to replace entire testing modules. See it featured here in our latest 400G and 100G test solutions, along with a FlexE interoperability demo between our 400G testing solution and the Xilinx® UltraScale™ FPGA VCU140 design platform.

While streaming video is everywhere, it is also the number one source of frustration for internet subscribers—particularly those on mobile networks. With video expected to make up 90% of 5G mobile traffic, it’s more important than ever to understand subscriber QoE. Unfortunately, operators have historically had little-to-no real-time visibility of OTT video streaming performance. Nova Active OTT video monitoring is the industry-first solution that detects and diagnoses the root cause of OTT video streaming problems in real time so that service providers can deliver a differentiated streaming experience to their customers. With it, service providers can correlate user experience (QoE) to network issues (QoS) within seconds. Learn more

Discover EXFO’s BA-4000 series of 400G/800G electrical BER testers.  Transceivers are evolving fast and 800G is around the corner. 400G is being widely deployed in R&D environments and is finding its way to data centers and network operator field implementations.   EXFO’s BER testing solutions are designed to deal with up to 8x56 GBd, supporting PAM4 or NRZ coding. BA-4000 is ideal for quality control and validation of the new generation of 800G transceivers, high-speed transmission line cards or module compliance boards (MCB). The easy-to-use interface allows to tune channel control, pre-emphasis and equalization for optimal signal integrity. 

Hi, my name is Marcos Vasconcellos, Product Specialist for EXFO’s Transport and Datacom Business Unit. Welcome to the NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner where we take a more detailed look at important technologies and unique time-saving features of our NetBlazer Series of testers. Today we’re looking at EXFO’s 16x Fibre Channel Bit Error Rate testing capability, which I’ll be demonstrating on the NetBlazer FTB-890, our portable 10M to 100Gig high speed tester. It’s the perfect choice for field testing of multiple speeds and technologies in metro networks. With this feature, we can perform Fibre Channel Bit Error Rate Testing from 1x all the way to 16x, all on the same module. An important point to mention here is that EXFO is one of the few vendors supporting all these rates—so 1x to 16x and 100 Gig—on a single module. A very valuable and cost-saving feature —eliminating the need for operators to buy a second tester for Fibre Channel 16x. The Fibre Channel test process is simple: Choose the modify structure button, Select the interface rate that you want to test at — in this example I’m choosing 16x. Insert the SFP+ transceiver. Now, we can easily run the test. Simple, fast, efficient — all on the same tester. So thanks for taking some time to see firsthand how quick and easy it is to run a Fibre Channel test – 1x all the way to 16x – all on one EXFO test set. Be sure to take a look at our other NetBlazer 100Gig Tech Corner capsules. Thank-you.

Discover EXFO’s new EA-4000 electrical/optical sampling scope 5G fronthaul is driving the need for 25G and 100G transceivers, putting a lot of pressure on manufacturers to produce thousands of samples daily. Discover EXFO’s EA-4000, an ultra-fast electrical/optical sampling scope for eye diagram analysis of NRZ 28G signals, compatible with 5G transceivers. The EA comes in 8 different singlemode and multimode models, covering from 830 nm to 1600 nm. The EA enables an outstanding acquisition of 1M samples/s with an excellent performance characterized by an ultra-low jitter and supporting 25G-100G standard masks (MSA).

EXFO’s new application—iSAM—is designed to activate and validate Ethernet services. Based on the Y.1564 Ethernet standard, iSAM can validate Ethernet services in three simple steps and enable links from 10 Megabits to 100 Gigabits Ethernet. In this latest video capsule, EXFO Engineer Edgar Fragoso Del Carmen shows users how to set up a simple Y.1564 test that will help reduce their OPEX as well as the travel time required for troubleshooting tasks—all with the power of the iSAM.
