📋 Tender Overview
Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its 400G Dual100G Quad Channel Expansion MT1040A-020 option offering upgraded functions for its popular Network Master Pro. Installing this new MT1040A-020 option in the MT1040A supports simultaneous dual-port 400G Ethernet 400GbE measurements using a combination of two 400G measurement modules. As a result since data Tx and Rx tests can be performed simultaneously it is possible to both test networks as well as measure the latency and execute quality tests of 400G equipment efficiently using just one MT1040A unit. Additionally testing of 200GbE used in data centers is also supported.By upgrading the MT1040A functions to support 400GbE in response to customers requirements Anritsu is contributing to the deployment and smooth operation of high-speed networks.Development BackgroundWith the start of 5G services and the spread of Cloud computing as well as the rapid increase in teleworking supporting increased network speeds and larger data capacities has become an urgent issue for communications network operators. As a result demand for 400GbE is increasing as a means to cope with reinforcement of these networks. However configuring stable and high-speed large-capacity networks using 400GbE requires careful attention to key points such as assuring the quality of equipment prior to constructing the overall network.On the other hand reducing network costs is a continuing requirement while the increasing complexity of network functions and test items demands a test solution offering easy evaluation of network equipment.Product OutlineThe 400GbE Network Master Pro MT1040A is a portable tester for evaluating the communications quality of various network types operating at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 400 Gbps. With its stackable configuration of measurement modules the MT1040A can support simultaneous dual-port 400GbE measurements using a combination of two 400G measurement modules facilitating quality tests BER throughput frame losslatency etc. of 400GbE equipment. Moreover in addition to supporting 400GbE the MT1040A also supports 200GbE offering network operators a cost-effective all-in-one quality tester.The useful automatic one-button test function for passfail evaluation of multiple test results cuts the test burden and reduces the need to support inexperienced operators performing complex on-site work.
