Xena Z800 Freya Ethernet Traffic Generator

Advanced 10G to 800G Ethernet testing with NRZ and PAM4 SerDes plus full Link Training optimisation

Z800 Freya is Xena Networks’ high-end Ethernet traffic generator designed for validating next-generation networks from 10G up to 800G. It supports both NRZ and PAM4 SerDes technologies (10G, 28G, 56G, and 112G), making it ideal for switch, transceiver, and PHY design validation and QA.

In addition to high-speed traffic generation, Z800 Freya provides advanced support for Auto-Negotiation and Link Training (AN/LT), helping engineers optimise and verify the performance of 112G SerDes devices. It is part of Xena’s scalable test ecosystem alongside Z10 Odin, Z100 Loki, Z400 Thor, and future ultra-high-speed platforms.
