VeEX RXT-6402: A True Dual Port 400GE/200GE Solution

Home / Latest News

The accelerated field deployment of 400GE technology by high-volume service providers, hyperscalers, and enterprises requires new testing procedures for engineers and technicians to successfully deploy 400GE network elements and services. Testing new technologies enveloped in Active Optical Cables (AOC) and Direct Access Cables (DAC), or QSDP-DD ZR/ZR+ coherent optics are key, but executing the job more efficiently leads to optimized Operations for an organization’s 400GE deployment efforts.

Dual port 400GE/200GE/100GE/50GE support in a single module and portable test set enables engineers and technicians in the data center, lab, and field environments to quickly validate and troubleshoot AOCs and DACs, and is crucial to efficient testing and deployment of 400GE network elements.

The RXT-6402’s dual port high-speed capability not only allows users to validate the AOC/DAC’s physical layer performance by testing with a PRBS BERT and making sure that it meets the pre-FEC BER specifications, but it also allows for the validation of Ethernet/IP frame transport to ensure full-line rate post-FEC performance.

Wrap-around testing of a 400GE switch or router is also possible with the RXT-6402’s dual port functionality. Wrap-around tests are important in field deployments to validate the performance of the switch/router before it goes live into the production network. Test scenarios include 400GE-to-400GE, 400GE-to-200GE, 400GE-to-100GE, 200GE-to-100GE, 200GE-to-50GE, and more.
