Awarded an Honorable Mention for its technical merits, the CSAM (100G Services Application Module) is a new 100G module that brings the most flexibility and versatility to 100G network testing. Leveraging next-generation CFP2 optics along with QSFP+ optics, users can install the CSAM in the JDSU T-BERD/MTS-6000A test platform for the industry’s smallest ultra-portable 100 G tester. Alternatively, technicians can install the CSAM in the T-BERD/MTS-8000 to create the industry’s smallest central-office-compatible dual-port 100G field tester. This compact tool can test T1/E1 to 100G and virtually all interfaces in between. It provides a combined 100G network and fiber-optics test instrument featuring OSA and fiber characterization (OTDR, CD, PMD, and attenuation profile) capability.
