Chromatic dispersion can be characterised with high accuracy from a single fibre end and testing polarisation mode dispersion from a single end is also possible.
It provides customers with FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 level testing capabilities, while supporting full-line rate traffic generation at 1 and 2Gbit/s.
Key features, such as buffer-to-buffer credit estimation and round-trip latency qualification, enable system configuration and performance management of SANs.
As a result, the Packet Blazer IQS-8520 is an essential test solution for qualifying and optimising SAN-based services or Fibre Channel devices.
The IQS-8520 also measures highly accurate bit-error rate (BER) values that reflect the quality of SAN transmission systems.
