New Test Requirements for 40/100 GbE Transceivers

Sponsored by: Tektronix,  SyntheSys Research, Inc
Available on demand
Strong user demand is ahead of the development of the latest high speed Ethernet standards. Learn about physical layer test requirements for the new 40/100 GbE standard as we give an overview of optical and electrical measurements and testing approaches for this rapidly evolving field.  Learn more

Test Strategies for 40G/100G Technology Development

Sponsored by: Anritsu Company
Available on demand
The move from 10 Gbps to 40 and 100 Gbps involves more than pushing bits through public and private networks more quickly. New standards and modulation formats, as well as greater susceptibility to chromatic and polarization mode dispersion, increase the complexity product designers must overcome as they develop the next generation of fiber-optic networking platforms, subsystems, and components....  Learn more

Test Strategies for 40G/100G Network Deployment

Sponsored by: Monitoring Division, Inc. (mdi)
Available on demand
The potential deployment of 40- and 100-Gbps links carries significant challenges. These high-speed signals are more prone to chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. This increases the network measurement and monitoring burden for carriers, who must first determine if their links are robust enough to support such high-speed traffic, then monitor how well those links perform once...  Learn more

Characterizing an SFP+ Transceiver at the 16x Fibre Channel Rate

Sponsored by: SyntheSys Research, Inc,  Tektronix
Available on demand
Early development efforts for 16x Fibre channel are proceeding ahead of the completion of the new standard. In anticipation of the new market need, many transceiver and component vendors are evaluating new and existing designs at the 14.025 Gb/s data rate. We will outline the key performance requirements and corresponding measurement methods for transmitter and receiver evaluation.  Learn more

Fiber Handling Essentials for Next Generation Networks

Sponsored by: JDSU
Available on demand
Fiber connectors are widely known as the weakest and most problematic points in a network. The more connections there are in a network, the greater the potential for interruption caused by improper handling during installation, operation, expansion and maintenance. The recognition of the negative impact of poor fiber handling on network performance is bringing about the development and...  Learn more

Testing Challenges in DCB and FCoE

Sponsored by: JDSU
Available on demand
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology maps the impeccable advantages of Fibre Channel on performance, security, and effectiveness in terms of storage transportation onto Ethernet network. As such, FCoE requires also elevated enhancements (Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols) on the conventional Ethernet to be more competent for critical data exchanges. The presentation will discuss from...  Learn more
