Xena Z400qx Thor Ethernet Traffic Generator

Dual NRZ and PAM4 Ethernet test platform for 10G to 400G high-speed network validation

Z400 Thor is part of Xena Networks’ advanced Ethernet Traffic Generation platform, designed for high-performance testing of both NRZ and PAM4-based Ethernet networks. It supports testing from 10G up to 400G, making it suitable for next-generation high-speed network validation.

Thor is a versatile solution that bridges traditional NRZ Ethernet testing with modern PAM4 technologies. It also supports Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT), enabling accurate validation of advanced Ethernet behaviours. It sits alongside other Xena platforms such as Z10 Odin, Z100 Loki, and Z800 Freya, forming a scalable ecosystem for multi-speed network testing up to future 1.6Tbps systems.
