The Anritsu Network Master Flex MT1100A optical transport tester addresses the challenges associated with emerging technologies being integrated into core and metro networks, as well as in data centres.

The product is a field-portable multi-100G transport tester that can support native client payloads, including Ethernet, fibre channel, SONET/SDH and CPRI, into various ODU encapsulations. It serves as a comprehensive tool to verify network performance during installation and maintenance.

The instrument can test several rates, from OTU1 through OTU4. It also supports 10 GbE client payload using GFP mapping into ODU2. A multistage mapping option is also now available, which divides capacity of ODU2 into eight 1.25 G ODUflex time slots for more accurate testing.

Statistical measurements for BER tests and OTN level alarms are supported. Error and alarm insertion is also available so stress tests on network elements can be conducted. CFP4 and QSFP28 optical modules can also be evaluated.

The product can solve OTN issues, reduce system downtime and lower operating expenses for network operators. It tests a variety of current client signals over the data plane and has a flexible platform that can be easily updated as technologies advance. The modular design also allows the product to support up to 400 Gbps (100 Gbps x 4) R&D, as well as test up to four independent 100 Gbps ports simultaneously, to increase manufacturing efficiency for 100 Gbps transport equipment.
