The CSAM delivers 100 Gbps testing versatility, enabling core technicians and operators to test circuits based on their needs. Leveraging next-generation CFP2 and CFP4/QSFP28 optics, users can make use of the CSAM in the T-BERD/MTS-6000A test platform and get a compact, portable, up to 100 Gbps test unit. Alternatively, users can fit the CSAM in the T-BERD/MTS-8000 and get the industry’s most scalable field unit. The 8000 supports up to 4 x 100 Gbps ports/CSAM concurrently or T1/E1 to 118 Gbps with all interfaces in between, including multiple 10 Gbps tests. It is also possible to combine CSAM with optics test modules such as a high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), dispersion module, or an OTDR.
Key Features:
- Provides portable 10 Mbps to 118 Gbps interface testing with complete Ethernet, OTN, SONET/SDH, and Fibre Channel support
- Ensures CFP2, CFP4, QSFP+, and QSFP28 modules run error-free with the field optimized Optics Self-Test. CSAM supports all 100GE interfaces including LR4, SR10, and SR4.
- Saves valuable test time with the industry’s fastest RFC 2544 and Y.1564 SAMComplete™ Ethernet service-activation SLA verification tests—these include high-accuracy latency measurements coupled with the QuickCheck Ethernet pretest
- Provides speed and efficiency in testing OTN service activation with the unique OTN Check workflow automated script
- Eliminates tough-to-diagnose Ethernet control-plane issues with integrated Layer 2 transparency testing
