VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) says it has added QSFP-DD800 support to the VIAVI ONT 800G FLEX XPM Module. The company asserts the new capabilities make the VIAVI ONT XPM the first lab validation system to support both OSFP800 and QSFP-DD800 optical transceiver test.
The VIAVI ONT XPM is a fully integrated test module for testing pluggable 800G transponders based on 100G electrical lanes. It is designed to provide full coverage for both framed and unframed traffic generation and analysis. The ONT XPM module also offers TraCol, forward error correction (FEC) analysis, and dynamic skew to help debug the 100G PAM-4 electrical lanes used in 800G equipment and infrastructure.
“The VIAVI ONT Optical Network Tester is the established industry reference for pluggable optical module development, validation, and test,” asserted Tom Fawcett, vice president and general manager of the Lab and Production Business Unit at VIAVI. “With support for QSFP-DD800 modules, we are further solidifying our customers’ ability to accelerate their manufacturing operations to ensure they are first to bring new 800G network equipment to market.”
