General specifications
Detailed compliance testingIEEE 802.3 - 2022 standard; CFP MSA CFP4 Hardware Specification Revision 1.1 18 Mar 2015; CFP MSA Management Interface Specification Version 2.4 (R06b); ITU-T G.709, G.798 and G.872
Multi-interface supportPluggable, MSA-compliant QSFP+ transceivers; Pluggable, MSA-compliant CFP4 and QSFP28 transceivers; Pluggable, MSA-compliant SFP28 optical transceiver; External timing reference (DS1/E1/2 MHz/10 MHz); Low-speed and high-speed reference clock output for eye diagram measurements; SRBIDI support; Active optical cable support; Single lambda support QSFP28 (DR/FR1/LR1); Tunable SFP+ and complete ITU-T grid with 100 GHz and 50 GHz spacing
PRBS patterns per laneAllows users to configure different PRBS patterns on different CAUI-4/XLAUI lanes in 40G/100G, and on physical lanes in OTU3/OTU4 unframed configurations; typically used to identify crosstalk issues when looking at the eye diagram
Per-wavelength power measurementAllows users to measure the received optical power per wavelength CFP4 and QSFP+/QSFP28 transceivers
Remote accessSupported via EXFO Remote ToolBox, EXFO Multilink, VNC or Web VNC
Report generationTest reports generated in PDF, HTML and JSON (for some applications). Reports are easily customizable and can be automatically generated at the conclusion of each test.
