Network Interface Cards

Test. Improve. Repeat.

Network Interface Cards (NICs) are one of the most ubiquitous components of the networks – the synapse that allows all the connected devices to actually become a network.

Customers around the world have been using Xena’s solutions to test NICs for over a decade: to verify new functionality during the R&D process, to verify standards compliance, to measure performance during production and to troubleshoot issues during deployment.

CASE STORY

TESTING FPGAS & NICS

A leading ODM specializing in FPGAs and NICs had a large R&D facility in India. Acting on the recommendation of a US-based FPGA partner, they requested an evaluation of Xena’s Valkyrie platform to test their FPGAs at 100GE. This testing required multiple stream generation capabilities and RFC2544 testing.

White Papers

… for testing NICs

Terabit Ethernet - How?

The new White Paper dives into the technical details. Called "Terabit Ethernet - How", it covers how Ethernet speeds beyond 400Gbps require changes to the Ethernet physical layer as well as the implications for first movers in this pre-IEEE standardization phase.

The Case for 25GE & 100GE

Data centers are hungry for bandwidth but strapped for cash. Adding more 10GE equipment is a short-term solution but upgrading to 40/100GE is expensive.

AN/LT for 112Gbps SerDes

Learn how AN/LT are key elements of Ethernet transmission over electrical connections and can reduce overall installation time and optimize the performance.

The Shared Lab Challenge

Learn more about how a Lab-as-a-Service solution will give users of shared labs an efficient and seamless way to utilize shared lab resources improving both CapEx and OpEx.

Terabit Ethernet - Why?

In this, the first of two White Papers exploring Terabit Ethernet, we look at the commercial factors driving the development of Terabit Ethernet and 800G.

Traffic Generator Upgrade

Learn how to extend the capabilities of your Valkyrie traffic generation and analysis solution using a L1 Matrix from CGS Tower Networks.

Putting 2.5GE & 5GE to the Test

This White Paper examines the technical details of the new 2.5 & 5.0GE speeds and then presents Xena’s new Odin-10G-5S-6P-CU test module which can test both the new speeds plus 100Mbit/s, 1GE and 10GE.

400GE

Learn about the new PAM4 400GE & 200GE data rates and how to verify the performance of network equipment capable of handling the new speeds.

100G PON

Xena's Valkyrie platform made it easy for BT to verify the performance of their new 100G PON solution. PON is an access network technology that ensures high-speed network access to business and private users.

Production Line Testing

Any organization that produces Ethernet networking components will perform a variety of performance, functionality, and quality of service tests. While many of these tests take place at the R&D stage, companies that ...

PAM4 Auto-Neg & Link Training

Learn about Auto-Neg & Link Training on PAM4/NRZ and how Valkyrie can test these functions, together with Teledyne Lecroy's spectrum analyzer.

Automotive Ethernet Testing

The automotive industry is finally going digital. Initiatives like the BroadR-Reach 100 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet standard seek to minimize the weight and cost of electrical cabling – now the 3rd largest weight component.
