VeEX announces 400G Digital Coherent CFP2 and QSFP-DD test solution
March 9, 2022
VeEX, a global player in innovative test and measurement solutions for next-generation networks, has announced today the MPM-400DCO, a 400G Digital Coherent CFP2 and QSFP-DD test module for the MPA Series.
Based on an advanced programmable native PAM4 FPGA design, the MPM-400DCO test module is a complete test solution for R&D, SVT, benchmarking, and production verification of pluggable Digital Coherent CFP2 and QSFP-DD modules and applications.
Key Features
- 1x CFP2-DCO test port
- 1x QSFP-DD test port
- Supports pluggable Digital Coherent CFP2 and QSFP-DD optics modules including 400ZR, OpenZR+, and OpenROADM
- 400G to 100G Ethernet, OTN, and FlexE applications
- FEC and BER signal integrity testing
- PAM4 & NRZ SerDes up to 56G
- Multi-user independent port operation
- Comprehensive MDIO/I2C and external IO capabilities for transceiver qualification
- Web UI and Python API test automation
“Challenged with providing solutions for DCI, metro, & long haul applications, the pluggable DCO market continues to advance at a very fast pace. VeEX is excited to offer a solution addressing the critical test applications required for the standards verification, interoperability, and manufacture of these high performance pluggable modules,” said Keith Cole, VP Product Marketing NEMs at VeEX.
When used in the modular MPA platform with additional 10/100G application modules, the new MPM-400DCO provides simultaneous, independent, multi-port test capabilities, supporting all the common and emerging transceiver form factors up to 400 Gbps. Multiple test automation APIs are supported providing NEMS R&D, SVT, production, and carriers with a comprehensive all-in-one toolset for the efficient, repeatable, and reliable verification of critical packet optical transport technologies.
