Open Transceiver System Tests 400G Designs

EXFO Inc. expands its 400G ecosystem test portfolio with a 400G test module featuring its Open Transceiver System (OTS). The OTS is a modular design concept that enables compatibility between current or future high-speed transceivers and EXFO's test platforms (lab and field). Inserts to test specific transceiver types, including those used in 400G systems (e.g., QSFP-DD, OSFP, COBO, and CFP8), eliminate the need to replace entire testing modules and can be interchanged directly in the lab, out in the field or on the production floor.

 

The OTS has the capability to swap out transceiver inserts, supporting both today's interfaces and tomorrow's yet undetermined ones—ready now for whatever the future holds while keeping CAPEX lower than expected. It redefines flexibility and sets a new benchmark for evaluating test equipment ROI. The OTS debuts on the new FTBx-88460 Power Blazer: a complete, compact testing solution that supports all of today's latest high-speed ecosystem technologies (400G, FlexE and OTUCn/FlexO) and transceivers on a single module.
