Modular Test Platform
The MPA® Multi-Protocol Analyzer is an advanced packet optical transport traffic generation and analysis platform specifically designed for the demands of R&D, SVT, and manufacturing testing environments. The MPA provides simultaneous independent multi-port testing from 1G to 400G for Ethernet/IP, OTN & SDH/SONET and Fibre Channel.
Advanced and flexible FPGA based test modules provide future proof hardware support for emerging standards. Supports license based test options.
The following test module options are available:
- MPM-600G Test Module Option (6x QSFP28)
- MPM-400AR Test Module Option (2x QSFP-DD, 2x QSFP56, 2x SFP56)
- MPM-400G Test Module Option (1x CFP8)
- MPM-100AR Test Module Option (1x QSFP28, 2x SFP28)
- MPM-100G Test Module Option (1x QSFP28, 1x CFP4)
- MPM-10G Test Module Option (2x SFP+)
