The Choice for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Performance Assurance
EXFO’s FTB-8510G Packet Blazer™ offers performance assurance for Ethernet-based frame services.
Its suite of test applications provides all the measurements required for validating service-level agreements
(SLAs) between service providers and their customers. Housed in the FTB-400 Universal Test System or
FTB-200 Compact Platform, the FTB-8510G module tests connectivity in its native format: 10GBASE-xR
or 10GBASE-xW used for transport of Ethernet-based LAN-to-LAN services. It can also be used to test
Next-Generation SONET/SDH, hybrid multiplexers, dark fiber or xWDM networks running 10 Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces.
Combined with its rack-mounted manufacturing/R&D-environment counterpart, the IQS-8510G Packet
Blazer, the FTB-8510G simplifies and speeds up the deployment of Ethernet services.
