Viavi Solutions announced the expansion of the VIAVI ONT solution portfolio with the 800G FLEX XPM Module the first fully integrated test product for pluggable 800G transceivers that utilize 100G electrical lane speed, with integrated test applications.
The company said its 800G FLEX XPM Module provides a wide range of critical test and measurement capabilities that manufacturers need to design and validate 800G optical modules based on 100G electrical signaling. The module has been designed for IC development and validation test, 800G transponder testing and vendor selection, system verification test, and manufacturing test. Key features include: support for 2x400GE, 8x100GE, 4x200GE and 1x800G unframed; dynamic skew; forward error correction (FEC) validation; and automation integration with the VIAVI ONT family.
