Flexible 10G 6-port Ethernet test module
The Odin-10G-6S-6P test module has 6 ports and supports testing of 6 speeds up to 10G Ethernet using NRZ modulation.
Based on Xena’s advanced architecture this test module is a powerful and flexible solution that allows independent configuration of speeds on all ports, so users can configure 100M on one port, 1G on another port, and so on, providing the highest port/speed flexibility for customers.
It can be installed in our 12-slot 4U ValkyrieBay chassis for multi-module setup, or delivered in the 1U ValkyrieCompact chassis, making it a quiet and lightweight Ethernet test solution, with a customized flightcase available for safe, easy transportation.
Includes easy-to-use software and rich automation options
Xena’s ValkyrieManager software is included with every Valkyrie system. This robust multi-user management software lets customers generate advanced traffic streams and analyze traffic patterns via its easy-to-use GUI.
For customers preferring to configure their systems via CLI, the same configurations can be applied using ValkyrieCLI.
Also included is Xena OpenAutomation (XOA), an open-source test automation framework featuring a Python API that runs on any OS. Fast, easy to use and extremely flexible, XOA can quickly create tailored tests, as well as run standardized test methodologies like RFC2544, Y.1564, RFC3918 and RFC2889.
