The Freya-800G-1S-1P test module supports four Ethernet network speeds –
800GE, 400GE, 200GE and 100GE using 112G SerDes (PAM4 112G) with the ability to drive both optical transceivers and DACs.
This flexibility is provided via a physical transceiver cage supporting QSFP-DD800 compatible transceivers. The QSFP-DD800 cage supports the following ports and speeds: 1x800GE, 2x400GE, 4x200GE and 8x100GE.
The newest addition to Xena’s Valkyrie product line, Freya-800G-1S-1P is a highly versatile solution for performance and functional testing of network infrastructure and Ethernet equipment including switches, routers, NICs, TAPs, packet-brokers, and backhaul platforms.
In addition, the comprehensive PCS and PMA layer test capabilities facilitates thorough transceiver and PHY testing. This includes the advanced signal integrity view, which provides visual information on the quality of the received signal.
