VeEX RXT-6000e multiservice test module for RXT-1200 platform

Equipped with dual next-generation optical transceiver ports and optional legacy test interfaces, the VeEX RXT-6000e module complements the RXT Platform, extending its testing range to 100 Gbps. Installation, commissioning, monitoring and maintenance tasks are simplified thanks to a combination of intuitive features and powerful test functions. Novice users benefit from the easy-to-use GUI, while experienced users will appreciate an array of advanced features such as OTL/PCS, CAUI-4/XLAUI Lane BERT, overhead monitor/control, tandem connection monitoring, service disruption, protocol capture/decode, BERT, throughput test, and much more.

General platform highlights include FP2 (LR4 and SR10) and QSFP28 interfaces for 100GE, OTU4 and ready for 50GE applications; supports IEEE 802.3bj Clause 91 RS-FEC as required for SR4 and SR10; CFP4 support via CFP2-to-CFP4 adapter; QSFP+ for 40GE, OTU3; SFP28 interface for 25GE, 16G FC and 32G FC applications; SFP+ for 100Base-FX, 1000Base-X, 10GEBase-X, OTU2/2e/1e/1, STM-64/16/4/1/0, OC192/48/12/3/1, and fibre channel 1/2/4/8/10/16 G applications; RJ45 for 10/100/1000Base-T applications; external clock interface; 150 ppm clock offset generation; and soft LED indicators and detailed errors/alarms summary.

Ethernet testing features include optical 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps Ethernet testing, including 25GE and 50GE; electrical 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet testing; dual-port testing capabilities; optical Lane BERT and CAUI-4/XLAUI Lane BERT; PCS layer testing with skew generation/monitoring; multistream testing up to 32 independent streams; IEEE 802.3ah, ITU-T Y.1731, IEEE 802.1ag and MPLS-TP OAM support; RS-FEC support for SR4 and SR10 transceivers; Q in Q (VLAN stacking), MPLS, MPLS-TP, PBB, EoE support; MAC flooding; RFC2544 and V-SAM (Y.1564) testing; IPv4 and IPv6 traffic generation; BERT and throughput testing at Layer 2 and Layer 3; smart Loopback mode for Layer 2 and Layer 3; one-way-delay latency measurement (GPS assisted); line rate packet capture with Wireshar decode; and error and alarm injection.

SDH/SONET testing features include availability as line rate or mapped into OTUk payload; STM-0 to STM-64 and STS-1/OC-1 to OC-192; advanced multistep Map/Mux with PDH/DSn test payloads; and test payload multiplexing down to VC11/VT1.5 and internally generated PDH tributaries.

Fibre channel features include storage area networks (SAN) testing for 1G, 2G, 4G, 8G, 10G, 16G and 32 G interfaces; BERT and throughput test; and RFC2544 throughput, latency, frame loss, back to back tests Layer 1 and Layer 2 loopbacks.

OTN features include testing for OTU1, OTU2, OTU1e, OTU2e, OTU3 and OTU4; complete multistage mapping/multiplexing; advanced multistep Map/Mux with SDH/SONET/PDH/DSn test payloads; Ethernet over OTN (EoOTN); ODUflex into ODU2, ODU3 and ODU4 with bulk payload; service disruption time (SDT); tandem connection monitoring; overhead monitoring and generation; terminate, payload through and line through test modes; per-lane optical power and frequency measurements; external clock reference interface; and histogram analysis.

The test set provides optional PDH and DSn test interface capabilities and sub-rates from 140 Mbps (E4), 34 Mbps (E3), 2 Mbps, down to N/M × 64 kbps and 45 Mbps (DS3), 1.5 Mbps (DS1), down to N/M × 56 kbps. Additional test features include simultaneous multilayer G.821, G.826, M.2100 results, pulse mask analysis and round trip delay. The test rates also supports mapping and de-mapping of E1, E3, and E4 payloads in virtual containers and testing of TU-11, TU-12, TU-3 and STS-1, making it suitable for testing hybrid PDH/SDH/OTN and DSn/SONET/OTN networks, access and legacy links.
