The ongoing transition toward a converged network infrastructure for legacy DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN and Fibre Channel, requires a test tool that can cover a wide range of interfaces and rates—without sacrificing portability, speed or cost.
Leveraging the powerful, intelligent FTB-1 Pro handheld platform, the NetBlazer V2 Series streamlines processes and empowers field technicians to test and validate DSn/PDH, ISDN, SONET/SDH, OTN, Fibre Channel, common public radio interface (CPRI) and packet-based high-speed Ethernet services efficiently.
The FTB-880v2/870v2 NetBlazer are the field technician’s go-to solution covering all things 10G. Fully loaded Ethernet testing includes iSAM and RFC 6349 with GigE and 10 GigE dual ports, as well as OTN, SONET/SDH, DSn/PDH, ISDN PRI, fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA), Fibre Channel and packet synchronization.
Key Features |
