Ixia Solutions Group, A Keysight Business, K400 QSFP-DD-400GE load module

The Ixia QSFP-DD test system accelerates the development of new IEEE 802.3bs-compliant 400 Gigabit Ethernet network equipment and systems. It is available in two configurations: a full feature and scale QSFP-DD-400GE and a reduced feature and scale QSFP-DD-R400GE that scales down the L2/3 feature set and L2/3 networking protocol scaling, while increasing affordability.

Both models enable full line-rate traffic generation transmit, receive, and capture functionality from 64B to 16,000B frame lengths.

Judge's Comment: "An important capability for the ecosystem to develop, test, qualify and deploy new 400G datacenter pluggables (QSFP-DD)."
