Ixia, a Keysight Business, Delivers First 200/100/50GE Speed Test Capability for the K400 400GE QSFP-DD Test System
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company
that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate
innovation to connect and secure the world, today announced that Ixia (News - Alert), a
Keysight Business, is first to ship a 400GE test system with multi-rate
200/100/50GE speed options for the K400
400GE QSFP-DD load module family. These
multi-rate speed options allow network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to
test products at speeds based on the new IEEE (News - Alert) 802.3cd draft standard and
IEEE 802.3bs standard using the 400GE QSFP-DD module at 200GE, 100GE,
and 50GE speeds, from a single port.
The demand for bandwidth intensive data center services such as 4K video
and 5G mobile network services is pushing data center and network
operators to equipment with the smallest footprint, lowest power
consumption, and fastest electrical interfaces. As a result, network
equipment manufacturers are moving from technology based on 28Gb/s
electrical lanes with non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoding to faster 56Gb/s
electrical lanes with PAM4 encoding.
"Flexible test solutions are necessary to develop higher speed,
multi-rate, high density Ethernet products for the leaders in the data
center space," said Sunil Kalidindi, vice president product management,
at Keysight's Ixia Solutions Group. "Network devices such as routers,
switches and servers must be able to operate at all new speeds in the
IEEE 802.3cd draft specification and IEEE 802.3bs on most, or all, ports
on their devices."
56Gb/s technology is at the forefront of Ethernet speed evolution-moving
from legacy 25GE, 50GE, and 100GE (based on 28Gbstechnology) to the new
200GE, 100GE, and 50GE interfaces expected to come to market this year.
The Ixia K400 QSFP-DD load module is the only shipping test solution
that can validate these technologies using 400GE-port fan-out media to
deliver a future-proof platform for testing 400GE, 200GE, 100GE, or
50GE multi-speed or single-speed network devices.
