Network Performance Tester MP1591A

Overview

Features
Description

An all-in-one instrument for measuring SDH/SONET/OTN/PDH/DSn/Jitter performance
Supports EoS (VCAT, LCAS, Differential Delay) measurements
Supports 10/100/1000M, Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet measurements
One unit supports measurement of up to 128 Ethernet ports

The MP1591A provides large capacity, multi-slot test capability for diversified networks with both line (SONET/SDH/OTN) and client (Ethernet) sides. The MP1591A is the ideal solution when working with increasingly common multiport equipment; it has expansion slots for up to 16 interface modules, and the 10GbE interface module supports LAN-PHY measurements. The MP1591A supports the modules used in the MD1230/MP1590 families. An example of its high capacity its ability to support up to 128 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports in a single chassis.
