MAX-840 - 400G Ethernet tester with 100G-start option

The ultimate in flexibility with a journey-to-400G design. Go with 400G now, or start with up-to-100G testing, and upgrade to 400G later.

Spec sheet

Start your 400G journey, your way.

The MAX-840 Ethernet tester is a go-anywhere compact, upgradeable solution including 1G to 400G Ethernet testing capabilities based on the latest IEEE standards. It features a journey-to-400G design for ultimate flexibility; go with 400G now or start with up-to-100G testing and upgrade to 400G later. Covering the basics, it includes EtherBERT, TGEN, BERT, RFC2544, Fibre Channel (1X – 32X) and other core testing requirements. It supports a wide range of pluggable transceiver form factors, including SFP28, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, QSFP112, and OSFP. The MAX-840 includes iOptics, an intelligent pluggable optics test application that can quickly validate any pluggable transceiver from 1G to 400G, as needed.
