TX340s Advanced Multi-Service Test Option
All-in-one optical and multi-service test module for advanced transport network testing
The TX340s is a hardware option for the TX300s portable test platform, delivering advanced multi-service testing capabilities for OTN, SONET/SDH, PDH/DSn, Carrier Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and CPRI/OBSAI. It is designed as a flexible, factory-installed module that can be combined with additional TX340s, 100G, or OTDR modules within the same platform.
This modular design supports a wide range of transport, core, metro, SAN, backhaul, and fronthaul applications, offering scalability and deployment flexibility for different test environments.
- Flexible all-in-one multi-service test platform supporting 64 kbps to 16 Gbps, with optional combination of 100G and OTDR modules.
- Designed for Transport, Core, Metro, SAN, Backhaul, and Fronthaul applications.
- Supports up to four independent test port groups with simultaneous measurements.
- Includes a test card summary view for monitoring up to four active tests, with easy switching between test applications and management functions.
