Next Generation Network testing

Weighing less than 2.5kg (6lbs), the TX300e is the smallest full featured 10 Gigabit Next Generation Network analyzer available. Versatile hardware and software options optimize configuration for transport applications at rates ranging from DS1/E1 to OC-192/STM-64 and/or Metro Ethernet testing options including 10GE, 1GE and 10/100/1000Base-T. Storage Network testing options such as Fiberchannel can be added via a simple software option to Metro Ethernet configurations. A super bright, touch panel 7" TFT color LCD enhances viewing and operation in any lighting conditions, while an intuitive graphical user interface simplifies menu navigation and accelerates test setup. An advanced low power consumption design combined with a high capacity LiIon battery pack provides up to 4 hours of continuous operation when the unit is operating at the 10Gigabit interface. Industry standard, field interchangeable XFPs and SFPs are supported, ensuring maximum wavelength and dynamic range flexibility.
