The bandwidth demand for enterprises, service providers and global data centers is increasing day by day, while 10 GBE and 40 GBE technologies are facing tremendous pressure under such high demand. Service providers and data centers are seeking high -density 100GBE network infrastructure solutions to meet these needs. Equipment manufacturers are rapidly increasing port density for this. With the support of Ixia's recent support for CFP4 and QSFP28, equipment manufacturers can use Ixia's high -density 100GBE test module to help them turn from 4 or 8 100GBE ports per card to up to 32 ports. For data centers, this means more efficient use of facility resources, reducing the energy consumption of rack space and each port, while providing higher network bandwidth.
By supporting CFP to QSFP28 interface adapter on Xcellon-Lava and supporting CFP4 and QSFP28 interfaces on Xcellon-Multis, the IXIA solution can be:
1. Test a multi -manufacturer interoperability between different QSFP28 and CFP4 optical hair solutions and cable mediums (such as active optical cables).
2. Perform stress tests to determine that network data forwarding is not error, long -term stability, and high reliability.
3. Use 100GB/S -line speed packet capture and decoding tool detection and debug data transmission.
4. Under 100GB/S, it provides excellent test platforms for 100GBASE-SR4 and 100GBase-LR4 100GE ASIC design, FPGA and hardware exchange architecture.
5. On the 100GBE testing platform, the RFC reference test that meets the industry standards is based on the data surface and protocol performance of the ultra -high -density 100GBE network device. The hundreds of 100GBE ports can be used in a single test.
25G SFP28 DAC is a 25GBASE-CR direct attach copper cable for data center environment. It provides a high speed, cost-effective alternatives to fiber optics in 25GbE Ethernet applications.
fiber pigtail is typically a fiber optic cable with one end factory pre-terminated fiber connector and the other exposed fiber.
This Article just briefly overviews 10G and 25G Ethernet (25Gb) technologies, focusing on the SFP+ transceiver and SFP28 transceiver.
