The MT1100A supports a maximum of four 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps ports, each of which can be used independently or simultaneously for network and network-equipment tests. It is the first portable transport tester that supports simultaneous installation of four independent 100 Gbps ports. Selecting one of the available CFP, CFP2, CFP4, CXP, and QSFP+ connectors for each port supports insertion of the appropriate module for all-in-one development and manufacturing of WDM, switches, and optical transceivers. Moreover, CAUI/XLAUI electrical signals can be input/output to/from the MT1100A, supporting development of high-speed optical modules using dedicated extenders.
Judge's comment: "Excellent and useful test equipment for network turn-up, capacity verification and trouble shooting. It is very versatile."
