Spirent 400324 OC-12C/STM-4C Single Mode Interface

The Spirent 400324 OC-12C/STM-4C Single Mode Interface consists of an OC-12c/STM-4 single-mode fiber interface operating at 1310 nm, specifically developed for use in the AX/4000 Broadband Test System. This module has very powerful support for ATM protocols and forms a key part of high-speed network testing at OC-12c rates, 622 Mbps. It is designed to tightly integrate with AX/4000 mAX test modules and offers accurate performance validation across several layers and protocols.

This interface module provides advanced testing for broadband environments, including access networks, mobile backhaul, core network routing, and MPLS technologies. Being an integral part of the AX/4000 system, it has the capability to handle the different interfaces separately, such as ATM, IP, Frame Relay, and Ethernet. These make it perfect for end-to-end testing in multi-protocol network setups. The 400324 comes with comprehensive conformance test suites that guarantee device conformance with the industry standard performance under simulated real-life conditions.

Because the 400324 OC-12C/STM-4C module has been engineered for stringent scalability and reliability requirements, exhaustive, repeatable testing procedures can be undertaken that effectively reduce deployment times and costs. The single-mode optical connection minimizes data loss and delivers the high-fidelity results over extended distances needed to verify the device and network performance levels in advance of live network integration. Software-controlled settings allow management of the tests with great precision; easily engineering parameter settings and emulating network responses becomes a very intuitive process.

Besides this, the AX/4000 platform provides flexible support for automation through C-function libraries for customized test scenarios and custom scripting. This extends the versatility of the 400324 module in simulating complex configurations with precision device behavioral evaluation under a range of operational stresses. Integrated error tracking with alarm capability further extends diagnostic capability, allowing for instantaneous detection and analysis of errors in transmission-an invaluable asset in network robustness validation.

The Spirent 400324 module emulates conditions from the subscriber edge to the core backbone, ensuring network engineers can guarantee systems will perform as expected-from end to end, at every scale. It provides support for key performance indicators such as bandwidth and data integrity by scalability, reliability, and compliance.
