Spirent PX3 2-Port 400G QSFP-DD Test Modules

Native QSFP-DD Test Module
Network bandwidth needs continue to grow at a rapid pace. Network equipment manufacturers are developing highly flexible multi-rate products to support the latest generation of HSE devices. Service Providers and Hyperscale data centers are deploying multi-rate networking infrastructure solutions to meet this growing market. With these multi-rate requirements, customers demand higher density test equipment. Flexibility is needed to validate the next generation of routers and data center fabrics. Spirent pX3 quad-speed module architecture was developed to meet these specific needs with its industry-leading 2 times density advantage for QSFP-DD. Spirent’s native QSFP-DD test modules can be configured to support seven-speeds per port, 400/200/100/50/40/25/10GbE with both PAM4 and NRZ encoding. The native QSFP-DD test module also supports Auto Negotiation and Link Training for all speeds including 8x50G. Trade-in programs are available for customers interested in upgrading existing test modules to support AN/LT and NRZ encoding. As an additional benefit, PX3-QSFP-DD-2 test modules provide a convenient way to upgrade to new hardware speed options through the purchase of related software licenses. These next-generation modules do not need to be returned to the factory in order to upgrade support for new speed options. For more information, see Ordering Information section.
